- According to the 1993 IKEA catalog I just got at the (newly opened) Houston
- store, "IKEA is not a mail-order catalog". This catalog only listed 6 stores,
- which I presume are the only ones in the USA. (As I recall, there are 3 in
- Pennsylvania, 1 in N.Y., 1 in the Washington DC area, and now 1 in Texas).
-
- I had heard a rumor (perhaps on this newsgroup) quite a while ago that IKEA
- was planning to start up a mail-order business, but it doesn't seem to have
- materialized.
-
- I just got an IKEA credit card; I'll inform the group of any important,
- must-know IKEA facts as I get them. :)

- RandomQuestion: Is it properly written IKEA or Ikea? Is IKEA an acronym?
- Anyone from Sweden care to translate IKEA if possible?
