WELL Dick Smith you can walk down the road to and we have a work account there... sometimes "expensive" and "supermarkety" is ok, for the sake of convinience.
As for Ascent, they use them at work for all their computer gear, and when I was buying these IPAQ's recently found we get no discount for all our business etc, AND they were more expensive than anywhere else.
Which brings me to this point, that we had a relaly good arrangement at work for all the computer parts from this place, we got a good discount and everything. New boss comes in and wants to put his mark on the place and essentially destroys the relationship with 1st said company, and goes to find "a better deal" now we have the situation where we don't get any discount and the service is worse etc etc.

seems stupid to me!
