I'm not sure this relates to computers, but when I owned a stereo repair shop, I made lots of money on warranty work. Not as much per unit as walk-in work, but the problems were usually much simpler. (How many times did I get $7 from Craig or Teac for replacing a fuse or cleaning a tape head? I would have charged a walk-in a minimum $9, but would have gone over the unit much better.) Plus they often floor-planned (financed) a portion of the parts stock they required I had on hand. I would think an aggressive, business minded shop would welcome warranty work! -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
