My eldest daughter's A/C died late last Saturday night.  After confirming
that it was really dead, I decided to hit a few web pages to see what was
available this late in the season.  Among others, I hit "The Home
Depot", and found a variety of "Maytag" tagged "Made by
Fedders" units listed.  I printed a select few pages and Sunday we
went shopping.  How suprised I was when we hit the store and found
"Oh!, those are only for online sales, in store we only carry the
house brand 'Hunter'".  Needless to say, they had ONE model in ONE
size, and that was that!

I have this vision of UPS delivering milk and eggs...   :-))

"As the wheel turns", milk, eggs, ice, _fresh_ fruit, _fresh_
vegetables, as well as _fresh_ seafood, were all delivered door-to-door
when I was a kid.  Most of those local vendors became the millionaires who
later opened our first "Supermarkets".


     Good luck...  M.
