i will also agree to that. now see wasnt that easy. now if the other 18,229,347 salesman would just chime in and agree we will have succeeded in bringing a little integrity to the industry. the above number is by the way a rough estimate and do not hold me to it. actually i should have said between ...

people read on boards like this what a bad experience it is going to be with a salesman. approach it with an open mind and try to learn as much as you can. no one can give you a price over the phone or on the internet. i still can't believe i just read that. i give plenty of presentations to one spo...

depends on where you live jarhead. in my opinion unless you are in the extreme northern climate then it is not worth the cost. dual paned with argon and low-e coating and you'll be just fine. oh yeah, semper fi. 1984-1990 2841 radio tech ooh-rah. good luck
