My boss at the software store where I used to work had jumped their ship to start that business, and for good reason. All the reasons you list, as well as more I'm not sure of the details on. In the end, though, they did manage to stiff him on the vacation he was supposed to earn free through making lots of sales; they said that because he had quit (with notice and everything!), he was no longer eligible to take the trip he had won a month previously. Can/will *anyone* out there in net.land defend the Shackers? Let's hope not. p.s. That Radio Shack in question is in Anderson, SC. -- Kevin Martin si...@pawl.rpi.edu (Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean the whole world isn't out to get me)
