San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 19 (RAID) This is a repost of my article which was munched by the bug. My sister bought a television from Sears and also purchased a maintenance contract. When the set needed repair instead of being able to take it to the nearest Sears store for repair; she had to take it to one which was some regional repair center which was 15 miles farther than the nearest Sears store. If she didn't have a contract, however, she would have been able to drop it off at the nearby store, which was also the one in which she originally bought the set & contract. Naturally these facts were not presented to her when she was told of the marvelous benefits of the contract. -- David Whiteman sdcsvax!sdccs6!whiteman UCSD Medical School, La Jolla CA {insert boring .signature file here}
