Paint is around $3 a bottle these days, and that will last a very long time. Overall it's not expensive at all, though I have been looking online at some models that cost $200 or more.

I have a favorite quote that Vendor will understand well. I put it on the 'Quotes' page, but left off the background. Long ago I read a short piece in Readers' Digest that went something like:

Quote:
I took a sailing class not long ago. As we all sat down in the classroom the instructor told us to read the message he had written on the board. If we understood it, great. If not, he said just tell him and he would cheerfully refund all the fee for the class, no questions asked, no harm, no foul. When we looked at the board, all he had written was:

"I can teach a man how to sail. I can't teach him why."
