I'm sorry to hear this Forest. I wanted to send you some words of encouragement though. Your products and the solutions they provide are EXTREMELY valuable to not just my business but our whole industry. There is a slew of stuff your products accomplish for us that would honestly take a fraken-monster to replicate.
I know it's tough going and there's not really an end in sight with these supply chain issues, not just for you but for America and the world. Unfortunately we've off-shored most of our manufacturing and that won't come back home quick. With all the weird things we've had to deal with the last couple years, I have to keep telling myself "This too shall pass". *But please please please keep doing what you are doing!!!! You are a true hero of the WISP world who makes products we all need!!!* Please let us know if there's any way we can help. *Sean Heskett* *ZIRKEL * *Internet • WiFi • Phone • TV* 970-871-8500 x100 - Office Website <http://www.zirkel.us/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ZIRKEL/> On Mon, Sep 27, 2021 at 4:06 PM Forrest Christian (List Account) < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm getting really tired of dealing with supply chain issues.
