They only understand what they call "modern > technology". "You didn't send us a file yesterday/x hrs ago." Explain to a customer that if they want to have more than one transmission to a file on their squatty box in a given time period, they must process that file before the next transmission. Or they can pay for multiple transmission setups. Or the file will be overlaid. The semantic problem is most of us experience new as more complicated than old. But modern does not equal more capable. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication (including any attachments hereto) is confidential and is intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
