"Internet Comparison Shopping."
Ah, the power of the Internet. I had downloaded specs on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) from APC.com, and was checking to see if the model I wanted was available locally.
I walked into Of@@ce De@@t and inquired. Alas, that model had been discontinued. There was a better model available..for 30 dollars more. I showed him the printout with APC's price, and the salesdude instantly took 20.00 off.
So, I got a better UPS for only $10.00 more than I would have paid on the net, with no shipping delays. Whoo hoo!
ELECTRICAL UPDATE: Outlet replacement stalled. The alleged workaround to ground using a pigtail attached to the outlet box didn't work.. the outlet still tests with an open ground. Damn! back to Lowe's, I guess.
