I’m sorry the Timex stuff appears to be getting low coverage in our catalog. Sales have been petering out for 2 years now and when I’m mailing the catalog to 25,000 ST and PC people and only 5,000 Timex people, it just doesn’t pay to have the Timex stuff take up very much room in the catalog. We’ll try to continue supporting Timex customers, but you can understand it has to make sense economically. I’m just not wealthy enough to do it for the good of all.
