The Amish Farmer-Printer may take the cake!! I don't think if I sold to every strip club or adult store in the region it would top that. That is awesome!

Re: Document Capture/Global Scan
From: Ted Sent: 3/11/2002 7:16 AM Brian, as for me 4.5 years copier sales, but 17 total in sales. Copier sales to me are the easist sales in the world. Yes you have good and bad months, but everyone in business NEEDS what we have. Not so with other sales jobs. A business cannot operate these days without printers, faxes and copiers. Lately, you can add scanning to that list. With the advent of the doc mall and e-cabinet, once you get a customer using this type of technology, they will never...

Over the past 3 or 4 years, GP has rarely been mentioned.

Re: Golf Help!!
Art - Orlimar makes great "fairway woods". Normally a fairway wood isn't a driver (which is your #1 wood). If you don't play much, I would suggest getting a nice 3 wood to hit off the tees.

Normal 1 woods (drivers) don't allow much room for error and are difficult to obtain loft and straightness. I would also suggest getting a firm steel shafted club. Don't get graphite because...
