      I can't Imagine talking to a customer for 4 hours. I have serious
desbelieve.

     As far as I know there are 5 or 6 types of Pyrex as per the
Corning patent of 1927.  I will grant you maybe by now they have
managed to mix the components in different proportions and have 20
types(hypotheticaly)

    But how many types are made for sheets mainly used in Newtonian
type mirrors?   (not asking about lenses here)

>"four  hours" about anything (!) is certainly of questionable quality.

I totally AGREE with you here.

as for me I emailed asking the price of 2 pieces of Pyrex 1" thick by
12.5 and 14" diameters.

when I called I asked the same thing on the voice mail.  took me 30
seconds to do it. but then I'm not into gabbibg.  except here ;) LOL
