Martin, I hope you don't mind me blowing your cover slightly. I did not state your name but I have been recommending your products whenever possible. The reason for posting your background info is to establish credibility, but I should have probably asked you first. Let me know if you want me to stop supplying personal details. I hope hardware sales are going well.
