Pretty cool that this post will be the third installment of our Week in the Copier Industry 15 years ago this week. Looking back many of us new nothing about networks, nothing about networked printers and scanners. This site enables many copier sales people to lean on others and to share information that helped us compete. Many of these founding P4P'ers are still members today. I'd like thank them for all that they did over the years.
