I hear you on that one. I used to work at a computer store and
we were located across the street from a discount appliance
store that sold computers.  I would quote them a solid machine
that we supported and they would buy it cheaper across the
street.  However, when they found they were going to have
problems, they would come to me and want me to support
their junk computer.  I told them to go back to the store they
bought it from.  We only supported our machines.
