I think you're making a mistake there. 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.
