Schaff doesn't even have an online database for a true shopping cart to operate from. (If that were so, all you'd have to do is enter to CAT# into that field and immediately the Item Name, Unit Price and B/O fields would auto-fill.) </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Chez Schaff, click on Place an Order, and what you get is a boiler plate template probably attached to an email module. The catalog info entered there comes from the opened catalog in front of you on your desk, in through your eyeballs and back out through your fingers. How's that for cutting edge technology? Same thing with Pianotek.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>RennerUSA appears to have a true shopping cart, although that and whole other classes of elements were non-functional.
