Bill:

You made my day.  My first reaction to the OP was "...give 'em a call..." 
but your response was much more elegant.  I was there a couple of weeks ago 
& didn't know about the Wavie bars until later when I read the catalog I 
picked up.  The only questions I had were 1 & 2 but I hadn't gotten around 
to calling.  

Seriously, everyone answers the phone & is super nice.  We've become 
conditioned to phone systems designed to get rid of us, so often we're 
reluctant to call, thinking it a waste of time.  At RBWHQ, live people who 
want to talk to you answer the phone!  What an amazing concept!  It's so 
efficient that I'm amazed more businesses don't pick up on it.
