- They probably do use NeXTs and all the snazzy apps, but my main point
- there was more on the supervisors having different lists than the people

- This sounds like a great idea (if only *I* can access *my* order info),
- sure would make getting through the phone lines easier...but I would want
- to be sure to get up-to-date info about my order from this service.
