They kept pushing Intel, Intel, Intel... Prices were way higher than I could get elsewhere and they told me in not so many words that I was too small time to be of much interest to them.

Experience w/sales dept. was just the opposite. Arrogant would sum it up... -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key-- 9F5179FD "Freedom begins between the ears." -- Edward Abbey
