Commercial, plus others.  Most of their offcuts will probably be acrylic
but that should definitely include .118" and .090", and possibly .060"
thick also.  You can score & snap it--if you use a jigsaw, use a slow
reciprocation rate and/or put soap on the blade to keep the acrylic from
heating up too much (it melts--will seal together behind the blade and
also
gum up the teeth).

Thanks -- I hadn't known about saoping the blade.  And there's a Trident
Plastics somewhere downtown, if memory serves.	I'll make a trip this
weekend.
