	Hello Bob,

	Most customers do not pay list.  I just called Fry's Electronics
on some printers for prices.  They sell a IIID for 2495, while list is
3495.  The prices at Frys really are discounted very well (39% compared
to our 47%).  Yes we do get it cheaper, but not that much from what you
can get it.  That was my point.  Our discounts are based on list, but no
one pays that price.
