Thank you Menachem.

>There are typically one of three ways a company distinguishes itself from its competition: Price, Service or Technical Excellence. Think about how you do your own purchasing.

>Using myself as an example, my decision on where to buy milk is usually based on convenience and/or price. I buy my appliances at sears because I know I always get a service person over quickly. That is really important to me even if the refrigerator might not be the latest and greatest technology. I want it to do what I want it to do and I want it to work well. Some technology items I choose based on how great the technology is.

>Now, this is not to mean that excellence in one area allows you to forget the others. If Sears costs double what someone else will charge, I won't buy there. I might pay a little more but not radically more.
