As most of you are well aware I am an anti-borg to say the least. Wellhere is the latest I found out today. Local lumberyard tells me thatthey are getting a lot of people saying they are out of line withregard to pricing on 250' boxes of 12-2 romex. Salesman calls a fellowsalesman at the borg and says "wtf is up with this"? Borg salesmanreplies, "ahhh, hehe, you don't realize that corporate changed all ourwire to 200' boxes instead of 250' ". The new packaging minimallymentions the footage in the box as opposed to the old packaging.This of course goes along with Kellogs putting a couple ounces lessceral in the same box for the same price, Lays and other chip makersdoing the same for chips, and so on. These minimal reductions (not tosay that 50' of wire is minimal) of course add up to millions ofdollars across the nation. Whats odd is why there would not be anotice posted in the wire isle telling the guy who figured a job for750' of wire that he now needs 4 boxes instead of the three he hasbought for the last 35 years.Yet we still question,Mark

Well getting less food is probably a good thing. We all probably need to eat less.As for the Borg pricing in Houston, the Borg has just about always been the highest place to buy. Same items at the local hard ware store are less expensive.The Borg is convenient, and that is its only value IMHO.

The Borg part..... ?

Don't have a clue, but if you are looking for a cat, check my tires.
