Re: PROMAX out of business?

My take is, a VAR needs to be local. What's the need for a VAR
that can't show up at your place in a few hours when your system
goes down? Promax and Charles were really neat. I loved talking
with him each year at the shindig at the Stardust. It sucks they
will be gone. I bought a bunch of stuff from them in the early 2000s.

I don't believe the need for value added retailers are going away,
quite the opposite. If you are in the business of making TV, you can't
possibly follow all the ins and outs of the equipment business.
A company here in Seattle that we do our business with, Media Tools,
is not only price competitive with out of town equipment sales people
but they bring service to the table as well. There is no reason
to order from LA when you've got the best deal and service
right here in town.
