No, I don’t mind sharing. Sometimes I’ve been told we are in the minority with how our experience has been. We were a SAMSUNG dealer and we did not want to commit to 50 machines a year with them, which I’ve been told is their minimum level. We have only been marginally impressed over the years with the SAMSUNG mfp line. We were one of their first dealers and also helped them sign on some other dealers the first few years.
