	I put in a PO here and our purchasing later got a call from
Microport claiming that they were having "a money problem" (not exact
quote, but you get the idea) and wanted us to send them the money
up front.  So purchasing wanted to know if I thought this was OK.  As
soon as I got up off the floor (having fallen there laughing) I cancelled
the PO and opened a new one with Everex.  We'll see how this one goes.
