No, you can't. You're buying a consumer-oriented commodity product. Your few words pack a powerful amount of insider knowledge that the overwhelming majority of consumers don't want to have to learn in order to compare vendor offerings. So they aren't asked to. If you want a non-commodity product you'll have to pay a non-commodity price to a niche vendor. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
