?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ My dad used to ask the grandkids if they wanted any ice cream, even going so far as to list several flavors.?ÿ When of course they said yes they wanted some he would say, "we don't have any".?ÿ They all learned to be skeptical about anything grandpa said.

?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿI just came back from the annual surveying conference with much the same skepticism.?ÿ I had been reading ads about the latest and greatest technology and how it would do everything faster, better, stronger, and could substitute as a dance partner if necessary.?ÿ This technology is awesome.?ÿ I'm sold.?ÿ I walk around the trade show and talk to all of the vendors just to make sure I'm on the right track.?ÿ I believe I've made the right choice so I go to the vendor of my choice and say I'll take it, excited as a boy at prom.?ÿ Guess what they said.?ÿ "We don't have any".?ÿ And maybe not for a year or two!?ÿ There I am with wallet in hand for advertised products and am still absolutely crushed.?ÿ I have the same name as my dad.?ÿ Maybe the karma bus mistook me for dad and ran me over.

Another thing to remember is that dealers have to buy this stuff from the factory and then try to find a customer. For brand new whiz bang products that can be a challenge. It?ÿ's not like it's a can of soup. Work with you dealer, maybe they can get what you want when they know they have a buyer.

You should make a lesson out of those guys and kill them and leave their bodies where they lay as a reminder to others to not screw with your feelings and emotions.?ÿ

That'll work.?ÿ

What are they promising you that you can't get?

I don't want to bash a brand that I really do like, I was just sold on all of "latest and greatest" in technology.?ÿ I do not want to buy something that will be superceded by better equipment in a month.
