Lowell is very good about letting us get what we want--as long as they have
it on hand.  We've even been known to hold on to duplicates (or undesired
items) for later trade-in.

In fact I specifically lifted the ban on happy meals, we usually

It all depends on how you arrange the plastic.

Off Topic. I see where Amway's new website made the news again. Too bad,
really. If CTP had been involved instead of some local consultants we'd
have made sure it could scale before it went live.

I don't even know who was brought in, other than they were "Microsoft
people".  I guess I've been living in a cave.

Two things that are bad to mix on a computer: 1) big PR push for the launch
date, 2) extremely aggressive time frame.
