Even if we don't own the equipment, being able to speak intelligently about the various processes, or have a <i>working knowledge,</i> prevents us from having to say those 9 deadly words:<br /> <br /> <b>I'll have to get back to you on that.</b><br /> <br /> It makes a difference, in the confidence of our customers.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 Mar 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a4635_27"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4635.27">#27</a>]<br /> 23 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Tom "Buzz" Bernard's series, "Jack and Jill Create A Laser Business: <i>Part Three</i>" appears in the April 2007 issue of A&E.<br /> <br /> Did Jack and Jill fall down the hill, in an attempt to impress a corporate buyer, by not putting their best foot forward?<br /> <br /> If so, can they recover?<br /> <br /> Quality, Quality, Quality and More Quality, is the essence of the article. :-) <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4635.1">1-10</a>  11-27</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
