Open Letter to Jack (in-the-Box)
OK Jack, we need to talk… Having heard about you years ago (1993 to be exact) and becoming impressed with your ability to turn a disaster into an opportunity I was excited to hear you would be expanding your operation setting up shop in the Indianapolis area. Immediately after expressing my excitement on a popular…

Apple Customer Support
Had to call Apple customer support this week for a client who had some equipment stolen. I was VERY impressed with how they handled the call. VERY helpful and efficient. Good example for some of the others to follow (I’m talking to you HP, Cisco & Microsoft!!)… Not often I have ANYTHING to positive to…
