This is sad. Their web site contained a lot of data and specs that other 
dealers web sites did not. I only wish that it had the stock levels so 
you could see what was in stock or not. I have dealt with them often in 
the past and will miss them.

Do you suppose they will have a closeout on all the office cats? :)
