Thanks, Greg;

    I'll try the online ordering.  I'd never needed an open account over
    the years.  I usually put in relatively small orders, and used to
    debit it from my checking account.  These days, I'm a little leary of
    doing an open account, because my trade accounts aren't the most
    prudent businessmen, and tend to run up the bill, ignoring my
    policies.  I'd be afraid of ruining my good credit if I ran up the
    account and my accounts recievable got high enough that I couldn't
    pay it.  Right now I've been unable to draw a paycheck for a month
    because of the money owed me.  I'm giving them one more week before I
    cut them off and go after their retail customers.  I'm hoping they'll
    realize what I can do to their business if my back is up against the
    wall.  I have no competitors around here, I'm the only real
    goldsmith in town.  I'm getting pretty tired of financing other
    people's screwed up priorities.  The stone dealers hereabouts are
    offering fantastic deals around here but nobody's buying, they have
    no money.  But there's lots of repair work.  If I got the 3-time
    markup on that work, instead of one-third, I think I could do quite
    well.  But to me, running up my own debt is not advisable.  Don't you
    just love this economic recovery?
