Still $50 is $50 and even if i can't make that $50, i can still get points from
one or the other of the vendors i use, thus i get something eventually, but the
hard part is the CC fee..
so i just send some people to one of muy vendors, they take the CC and i get a $50
or $100 check later from the customer or my "points"..
this business has changed to the point that one really must offer more than just
hardware..
as a PC VAR i'm supposed to add value by either memory or other hardware to the
system, or software or some such thing..
