I've gotten plenty of mail about this and EVERYONE has been quite
positive about their experience with MacWarehouse. I assume it
is a fluke, although a bit of a pain. 

This leads to the question, "How do you design networked database
software so that databases are kept consistent?" Why don't people
do this? The airlines can do it, why can't the software developers
who coded up the stuff for MacWarehouse.
