Don,
We have received e-mail from N F White and have responded but are not
sure we have gotten through.


Huh? My email bounced! I had a bounce, let alone get a reply!


:-)

Sometimes a bounce is a temporary one -- a "we can't deliver
your mail so far, but we'll keep trying" type of thing.


Is that (N F White) you?


It is me. Ahah! I faxed them! Not email. Email would have been
"nfwhite"


O.K.

TMK I have not had a fax back from them. I'll try again.

Did they say anything about the website?


Not a word, by which I assume that they are pretty clueless
about the workings of their web page. IIRC, some other firm took the
credit for the page's design and implementation. And it may be that
still a third party is responsible for the blocks.

We have an exclusive distributor for Australia:
"BILLEROY""
195 BAILEY'S LANE
OBERON NSW 27
AUSTRALIA

It sounds as though they could not sell direct to you, if they
have an exclusive distributor there. But hopefully, the mark up for
them is not too bad.


humph! We shall see....maybe. Sounds like a farmer thinking "That's a
good idea", to me.


:-)

I know Bailey's (naming coincidence) in the US were happy to sell to
me, exclusive or not. But they just keep saying the chain won't fit,
and I disagree. That's why I wanted to talk to Rapco.


O.K. Are the chain pitches sometimes in metric units, and
sometimes in inches, depending on country of origin?


I hope that this helps,


Appreciated.


Let us know what happens.

Good luck,
DoN.

P.S. Is it time to straighten out the spelling of "carbide" in the
"Subject: " header? My spelling checker keeps stumbling over
that one. :-)
