First I gotta say, this has been one of the most civil threads regarding certification and stuff in years! I must commend everyone on not getting all wound up and lashing out at each other.
Just to add a comment for Michael (Ablecomm) He's spent more years doing Panasonic installs (20+ I think) than many of us active installers, Michael doesn't exactly fall into the category that a lot of the internet sellers do. He's always been helpful for finding older Panasonic parts and stuff too. > No, his exact markup is pretty well known, which is not bad for never > touching the inventory.... And I don't know how he does it now, but the last time I visited his place before he moved away from this area, the inventory was piled from floor to ceiling.
