Ought to >be fun >to watch :-) No surprise the states after the money they see as rightfully being owed (I'm sure everyone on this list sends to their state comptroller the appropriate use tax for their online/catalog orders ...).

I'm sure those business in NH are just looking forward with great glee to having to be sales tax agents for 45 states. mjw > >Mark
