Not at my borg...and on a Sunday, there's isn't much of a choice. Had
I planned my time better I would have gone to an electrical supply
house during the week and saved some money.
My point (and I was only being half serious anyway) is that these
companies know how to package their items such that they force
consumers to spend more money than they need to. We see it every day
with the accessories they include vs. what they don't. It always seems
that the one you want doesn't come with the item.
I just felt like venting before...I'm OK now. ;-)
