I hear your pain, Mark.
That said, I have purchased numerous LEGO items from Spectrum, from the Technic
turntables to additional sensors for my RCX. I mentioned to them that I wasn't
part of any education system--they didn't have a problem with that and they even
sent me colour glossy catalogues.
Of course, Spectrum, as far as I can see, is based in Aurora, which is a
few(ish) kilometers from where I live here in Ontario.
My only problem is that it's expensive to get parts from Spectrum--Bricklink was
a much less expensive way to get parts.
