    I think it's not that distributors are outdated, but HOW those distributors operate is outdated.

    ie:

    Not taking Credit Cards, or making it hard on the buyer to use it (cash discounts).

    Existing as a commodity business (letting a customer call around looking for the best price on a machine, because that's the only thing the customer can tell the distributors apart)

    All competing for the same buyer and not expanding their own market
