Fred,

I just have to tell you a little story about how you ruined one of my clients daily routines.
He had an old version of SBT, I believe version 6.5 and SBT manuafacturing. Every day he would get all of his orders ready and about 10 minutes to 12:00, he would start the process of completing work orders. Most of the time it was complete when he came back from lunch but sometimes he would get an extra 15 or 30 minutes of a break when it didn't complete on time.

I upgraded them to Pro 2.5 and added TIW to do the manufacturing end. After everything was converted, the BOM's setup and so forth, we created some work orders. When lunch time came, he got ready and started to complete the work orders. He put on his coat, and cleaned up a couple papers, ready to go out and he stopped, turned to me and said "Something is wrong with your fancy new program. It must have crashed!"

Sure enough, the system was not running anymore but rather than having crashed, it was done! It took a 60-90 minute job and turned it into a 2 minute job. No more excuses for long lunches!

>>Yeah, and there was a really talented programmer that wrote most of that! <g> This is actually a serious comment. I have always been very impressed with the work that you did on that product. Are you no longer connected with them? Rod has to miss you.

>Thanks. No, I haven't been there now for over 2 years plus. I spent a good part of my life on that. I'd *hope* he misses me. Damn economy just couldn't swing the long distance commute anymore. :(
