	That's intersting danno.  I had a chance to talk to the Sales Manager
from MacWarehouse when she called the computer store here a few weeks
ago.  I just happened to mention all of the heated debate that
MacWharehouse had been getting on the Usenet/Internet news network
because of their name and their method of advertising.
	Bad move.  I spent about 5 minutes {no exaggeration} trying to explain
what the hell Usenet, Internet, and comp.sys.mac were!  In the end she
just gave up.  I had completely lost her before I even began.
	I would figure that these companies, if not at least *one* of their
employees would know about the net and comp.sys.mac.  But I guess we're
just too secret a society here... *heh*
