We have become so accustomed to the rah rah this is great everyone needs one and should go out and purchase it while the price is right, that we feel disappointed at straight facts describing ss merchandise. I prefer the straight facts.

The PP is an impressive device, but just not quite impressive enough for me to whip out the credit card yet. I can't find anything it will do that I can't already do....maybe not do the same way I would if I had the PP, but I can do it anyway.

Young did a good job on the dog and pony show. And, it was good to see other folks stopping by to see what it was all about. He had a group of 6 or so watching the next demo.

Albuquerque, NM is his next stop.
Was surprised to find an announcement of another demo in Amarillo March 26-28. It has been just over a year since the last one.....
