Hi,

'Comes to the site" ?

a) They need to know :
1) What the customer is licensed for
2) Who the audience is
3) What their "Claim to fame" is
4) What to indentify the Customers needs
5) When to say "I do not know, but i will get back to you"

b) They should not have to

1) Have the latest bells and whistles in their pocket/ear/cellphone
2) Know more than the customer , about his problem
3) KNow how to set their "Out of office" email message. All the new IBM'ers 
love to do this. Not sure why 

Anton
