there is no need to explain anything anymore. all points were made.
"I need 'exit" is one thing that can't be used and i haven't used. if a
customer wants something that is not a program or a palmpilot but more of a
tool used specificly for its own purpose then there is no need to make a
point.
also, how about the only responces to the guys question (and any other
person and or question) is followed by an answer and a concern. lets
atleast make any critisism / tips constructive. (this almost feels like a
tug-a-war).
