Just what was the contract, to install new computer wiring and equipment, to set up networts, to do basic IT work, what? Perhaps I should know, but don't. Servicing 30 stores all over the South sounds onerous, much too much for one person.C

I've done stuff like that, but never so much continuously. I think you have more energy than me! It's hard as a one man operation, but I prefer it that way and maybe you do, too. Like Cole, I'm curious - is this an on-going contract? Are you going to get paid for keeping it all running smoothly? And so does that mean once you get the problems sorted out at each store, it'll be easy money from then on? I hope so.I wish you very well in your new venture, James!
