Re: Tape players from Walmart? You've got to be kidding!

Pam,

Keeping in mind how professionals should speak to one another, I will
respond to your post. Some states DO NOT have bid orders, including my
state. This means that I purchase from whomever gives me the BEST price AND
service. Since most AV equipment is warranted by the manufacturer rather
than the company selling it, I don't care who the company is, if they have
the right price-THAT IS WHERE I GO. You should take into account that not
everyone works under the same conditions as you do!!
