The "lady" yopu are refering to is just a clerk   She takes orders over 
the phone and tries to figure out your order from the catalog and the 
computer.  She is absolutely clueless about what she is selling.  Just 
like when you order from VB.  The other employee there is fairly 
knowledgeable about the products they are selling, but he is far from an 
expert about "A' series parts.  David is the only one to talk to with 
any questions about your order unless you know exactly what you are 
ordering.  There are a couple of temporary employees there that really 
know their stuff about parts and machining of heads and such.  Until 
David gets back, these guys are who to talk to.  I'm sorry I don't know 
their names, but I will be picking up an order there this week and I can 
get their names if anyone has to deal with APT before David return on 
October 8th.
