It sounds like the hardware the OP is after is a bit unusual, not the kind of |
| 14 |
thing you'd get in a High St department store. |

Here where I live, it's quite easy to find specialists for that kind of stuff, |
| 17 |
small firms that often do installations as well. I've always found them to be |
| 18 |
very willing to cater to the customer - they don't have thousands of them |
| 19 |
streaming in the door. Approach them on the basis of two knowledgeable techies |
| 20 |
figuring something out, and they are usually quite helpful. |

Well that's how it generally works here. Different attitudes might prevail |

elsewhere. |
