>> the best you can get.  ...

My brother-in-law once worked for a Radio Shack.  His opinions were:

	1.  You can get some good quality stuff from them.

	2.  You can also get some real junk from them.

	3.  Given any item, you can't determine its quality.

When he worked there and knew who the suppliers were, he would buy the
good stuff.  Since he stopped working for them, he won't go near the
place.
