As for your question, yes! You can order Portfolio from the same line as
you called for information or you can order it from any of the speciality
dealers that are currently carrying the product. 

For your closest Portfolio dealer, call the toll free 800 number listed 
above.

As for the service, thanks for the comments.. I will pass them along to 
the tired Portfolio Group (Boy are they busy!)..
