Re: [mh] Insteon multiple scene control

[Glenn M. <wm....@gm...>]

slightly off topic, but....

Not sure if the same rules exist in the Great White North, but down here in
the lower 48 (+2),, manufacturers cannot control at what price you sell an
item, only at what price it is advertised.  Tempur-pedic is a prime example
of this.  No matter where you go, the retailers will tell you that TP sets
their own pricing.  This is not exactly true.  They set the lowest
ADVERTISED price.  We as retailers can sell below that point and TP can't
do anything about it.  Oh, and yes, I work in the furniture biz.  Anyone in
Texas need a mattress?  :-D
