<chomp, chomp> What really gets me about the pitch for "extended warranties" is the basic concept: A salesperson spends x amount of time telling you how great a product is. He/she spews out mountains of information and related data - all geared to make you buy the specific product. Then, after you plop down the ca$h, he/she spends a considerable amount of time telling you the horrors you will face IF you don't get their extended warranty/protection plan. It seems a bit ridicu- lous. It's like going out and eating at a nice restaurant and having the waiter hand you a barf bag on the way out. Joe LeClercq ihlts!jml
