Everything needs a tweak. Over 16 years communication details for dealing with people have gone from Fax to email to text # to website blog. The businessman gets back in touch with clients to help them keep current as the world changes around them. Got a call from one of my old DOS used car app customers a few months ago. I never want to talk to them because I just don't want to do that system in today's environment. Could I use the cell phone camera to read the VIN barcode and have it make a pull against a VIN verification system getting all the facts necessary to load the car into inventory while they are at the auction? It is really cool stuff like that that I don't want to get into. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMY+Zb4ThvLBDrdNrN2ZLSJ0d=v4mwt8f+77o5bisc0c...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
