Yes, but thats how retail works. They would be making the same mistake by not getting rid of 7.3 on the shelfs, and thus eating all the copies that they have of 7.3 at a huge loss. I've worked for retail stores before, and thats how they work. Sad but true. -- Jesse Keating j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
