I've done business w/ Peter on two occasions (each generator purchase)
and I have to say in all honesty, it wasn't really pleasant.

He comes across as a bit "crotchety". He knows his stuff; his web
pages are very informative; and both my orders were delivered
promptly and correctly, so I have no complaints on the business end
of my interaction with him.

It just wasn't very pleasant talking with him, but not so much so
that I won't do business with him again to get more of the Philips
3W light bulbs (can't find them anywhere else) and a couple spare
drive wheels for the generators.

_Exactly_ my experience as well (2 separate purchases, light & dynohub).
Cranky, but he can get away with it as he knows his stuff and runs a
good business.

The woman (his wife?) who I've dealt with on non-technical issues is very
pleasant.
