Abel's policy seems to be selling only those items that bring in lotsa cash. If you keep with Abel for mass articles and buy everything else from local dealers you are supporting this (IMHO) wrong behaviour. You should make up your mind for one dealer and then stick with him for items like floppies, printer tapes and so on. How else is he to survive? Support dealers with good support, I say. -- Lars Soltau UUCP: ...uunet!unido!sns!space BIX: -- no bucks -- Here's looking at you, kid! -- the Medusa
