With the chance of starting WW III, the Ten Tec website has been
non-functional for almost 3 years, That is enough to tell me the future of
the company.
And you can not drop by the "store"? Well, perhaps I can understand that. I
understand what new owner is trying to accomplish with a web based only
business but it simply has not worked.
