Jon,
Thanks for the feedback. I've purchased from Sun several times
over the years, but I've never had to deal with a salesman since my
orders have been limited to replacement parts, ordered online by part
number. There's no reason anyone should ever have to pay a
restocking fee if something doesn't work as promised.
