Probably for the same reason why "Cantonese" is "2" on the queue for
Shaw Cable and "French" is "3"...  It's the fur-in-ohrs, Otis.  They's
takin' ovah.

My understanding is that "they're" buying and "you're" selling.  I don't
think anyone's givin' anything away except for them guys over at the
Ademco counter (and I hardly think free screwdrivers means the
end-of-all-things-as-we-know-it).

There's quite a few Canadian, British, Spanish, and Italian personnel

"security devices" to ensure we don't get "robbed".  Don't you "upgrade"
your security system when a weakness becomes apparent??
