Re: Compensation Question
I get a salary, mediocre commissions, bit have a revenue bonus for the month and the quarter. If I hit the revenue marks it's good money. Problem is to hit those revenue marks on a consistent basis. But to answer your question, no I don't receive anything for volume of systems sold. Jason, are you in North Carolina or South Carolina, can't remember.

Re: Perfect for throw-ins
you can get them at Carolina Wholesale or simliar companies. We have bought a few and are planning on throwing into large deals. It is the same as the 3310/1013 but with a platen but I am sure you can put a DF on it or a fax option. Not sure about the PFU...will open one up next week and let you all know.

I don't think the Eagles need to put too much hope in a bunch of 4th and 26's to win the game. I don't think Carolina will screw up on a 4th and long like the Packers did.

Re: The Quest for $200K "When I bit off more than I could chew"
Jason WOW, congrats on the excellent year! You're right about the time thing, no matter how hard we try, there's no telling of forecasting the future. Unless you have an obscene pipeline, and that's what I'm planning for in 2018. BTW, Jersey just seems to be getting worse and worse, do you think a Jersey accent would work well in North Carolina?

I am heading down to Cape Hatteras, NC for a wedding this week (and a little vacation). I hear it is nice, even though we are a little bit before "the season". Vince
