[TechAssist] Re: Job opening

Well Ed, I can agree.
When we lose the personal touch, then it's time to go.
Most of my customer base is older. I had to turn down a job tonight for 
a lady who didn't trust anyone but me. Luckily, I have a friend in the 
business, who is happy for the extra business. Doesn't make it any 
harder to say no. The other 50% of them, can kiss my rear end. They 
could care less about anything but screwing the TVguy (figuratively 
speaking, of course).

BTW, I'll be happy to state as an american, and a republican, I don't 
like my president either.

Thanks
