What shame……………………… Like most of us I never met Greg but I valued is input. We should do something to remember Greg. How about this; Members submit their success stories here at the hotel. On Feb. 1st 2005 the managers or a committee review the success stories and pick the best 5 or so. Then members vote on which story is the best (not necessarily $$ wise) and then on February 14th of 2005 the votes are tallied and we award the Gregory Brown Memorial Achievement Award.

Re: 2045e and mailbox cs360
Hmm.. We have been told that it is possible to modify a CS360 to 2035e/45e (NOT 2035/45) I think this is caused by the demand for a physical mailbox, from especially scandinavian users. If you use the electronic mailbox, the user waste a lot of time waiting by the machine. You can order a kit from RICOH for the CS360 that modifies connections, firmware, etc. It works ok, except for some small details, like the color; AF350/450 brown-greyish (

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
I wanted to respond to the "Best Software & Services Providers" Award. It's my understanding and I could be wrong, is that a dealer survey is sent to "x" dealers with the above questions. There were four nominees that I heard of and they were: ACDI FM Audit Paper Cut Square 9 Where is DocuWare, Nuance, Print Audit, PSIGEN, MWAI and the others? Which got me to thinking. Is Cannata using the same pool of dealers every year for the voting? I'm thinking maybe yes, because these players in...

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
I agree Rick Taylor has done a superb job at KM but I think he does win it every year. Rightfully so in my opinion, but I also believe Cannata uses the same dealers every year. Since I met them a couple years ago and we use 4 or 5 partners on the lists now we have been included in the voting for the last 2 years.

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
Ty for the comment, I think the same about Taylor. So, unless those dealers change who they use as third party supplies, none of the other will ever get on the list.

Just a little more on the show that I'd like to share from this week. While standing at the end of our booth I was watching the reps from other companies in our section.
