    yeah, we pretty much pay cash for all of our stuff so it is just making bank on it to pay it off from the standpoint of making up the cash outlay. it is the most difficult piece of equipment we have to deal with, very rewarding but very unforgiving. on the bright side we delight our...
  3. Merrow machine paid off today

    We added our Merrow machine in the April/May timeframe. We have been bumping along with several short runs of patches a week. It does give us practice as this little machine is very fiesty like a Redhead on a bad hair night. Anyway, we know our competition (many competitors in this space)...

  7. PCI Compliance

    We use FirstData and if you are set up for internet transactions that is the only compliance process you get a choice of. It was really brutal.
