What? And bankrupt Walmart????


With that result alone, it would be worth considering, since Wal-Mart
does more damage to the United States than all the Moslem terrorists put
together.



I just bought my wife a notebook computer from Walmart for $648. For
another $40, I got a 3 year extended warranty. It has a1.2 GHz AMD
Athlon 4 processor, 256k RAM, DVD/CD/RW, 40 gig HD, and built-in Wi-Fi.

She got it primarily to wirelessly surf the web, download music to burn
to a CD, and to do light word-processing work. It's a nice little
notebook. The only negatives are that the fan seems a bit louder than on
my Compaq, and the battery life is about 50% less (I have a Centrino
processor).

Given Wal-Mart's liberal return policy, and the fact that a 3-year
extended warranty is only $40, I figured that I can't go wrong should the
thing crap out in a year or two.




A no-name's no name? No thanks.

Someday, hopefully soon, the Wal-Marts near you will open Wal-Mart dental
clinics, with sorta-licensed dentists from, oh, Thailand, who do exactly
what you do, but not as well, for one-tenth the price, and toss in a BJ
and massage...


Not a chance. That's the beauty in belonging to a self-regulated
profession. The Dental Board will always see to it that a Florida Dental
license is a scarcity. You'd have an easier time unionizing your local
Wal-Mart than getting quasi-licensed Thai dentists working at Wal-Marts in
Florida.


Regardless, I have never had a patient transfer to a clinic-style dental
office because of their PPO without switching back to me after one trip to
the clinic. I don't belong to any plans, and I don't accept assignment of
benefit. I *do* see that every patient is seen within 5 minutes of their
scheduled time, and I only use the newest technology, and the highest
quality materials and labs. I don't offer a BJ and massage, so I guess that
could be one area where I'd be vulnerable. Perhaps if Wal-Mart starts
offering those services, then you could get a job there.
