An Interesting Read...

One of my customers writes for a paper. I didn' know which one so I bought 2 and still didn't buy the right one. LOL She writes for the Charlotte Observer. Here is a link to the article she wrote.

http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observe...a/14079103.htm
I don't want to copy the article to this post because of the copyright. She didn't get everything accurate, but it is definitely good exposure.

See ya,

John

(Corrected the link)
