I work in the small village of Garrettsville, Ohio.  It is so small that

are only 21 white pages in the phone book (and it's only 9" x 6"!).  Whil=
st

perusing the phone book today, I happened upon an interesting listing und=
er

IBM Corp Sales/Marketing 1-800-426-4968

Needless to say, there is no corresponding entry for Hewlett-Packard.  =
