"The only really down side was not having a local facility that I could runto if I needed something right away. It was a minor disadvantage. But itwas really not a big issue. With computors, e-mails, and cell phones todaycommunication is key to getting things done. SO most of thime I was able toget what I need, only a few times did I not get what I needed shipped out ontime."
