Then perhaps you don't know the full story Ben. It is not just that NewTek raised their price. Yes, I am angry about it but agree they have every right. However, dealers orders were sent back, saying "sorry, newtek raised their price". As wonderful as that might sound many machines are purchased by schools and state/government agencies who go through a procurement process. Entire computer system sales are being lost! It is one thing to raise a price, another not to honor the price for a reasonable amount of time. NewTek has told several dealerships that they (after this had already happened) would go ahead and accept the order, if it was filed _before_ Monday. That is right… MONDAY. Now tell me, would Black Belt ever do that? Yes, I agree the distributors can be jerks, but I am not so sure the "jerk call" is fair this time. Perhaps so. By the way, I still stand behind my last comment. NewTek is making a serious mistake. -mark= – via the Whapster!
