Now try ordering µfilm. they rent the film. granted it's low cost, but
i'm not near an FHC. I'm sure they will offer items for sale in the
future. But right now, they don't. Notice you can order cd's with
250million names from FTM. I'm a customer and they are selling info. I
get to critique their product and if they want to compete on the
internet, they will offer the products i need.
Amazon.com doesn't get indignant if i tell them they don't have the book
i want. They try to find it. It's called doing business on the internet.

regards.
