That is entirely false. The price paid per store is not the same. Some vendors get better prices than others. Yes, we own a store. :)

Sometimes we can buy from winn-dixie or wal-mart cheaper than the distributor. Go figure!

OPEN OFFICE. No need to get M$ Office

i always avoid any company trying to A) lock you into a product and B) companies that force high prices *cough* sony *cough* warner bros *cough*.

I always source their products at the lowest possible price - from another country if i have to
