Indeedie. We need to be keeping up technologically with the nerds and also the Snappers who have loads of dosh to spend on upgrading every 3 months. Remember when ISDN was a mystic art of file transfer ? Now even my grandson is routinely e-mailing me picture files bigger than I was sending to clients a few years ago. Phone snaps ported directly back to the office will enable Ex clients to just move the walking tripods, sorry, Bipod around till they get the view they want.then "Click" , Job done ! When the Olympic games were held in Los Angeles the newspapers in Japan published action snaps before the local papers in LA did. Sony cameras with floppy drives ( Mavica ) did the business, instantly ! The Writing was on the wall 20 years ago. Don't be afraid of buying into the techno race to stay at the forefront of the supply chain,quality may be second priority to delivery,we are now in a "Delivery is King era" You can always deliver better at leisure when you have captured the clients attention! At 57 William, I'm obviously near my sell by date,thank goodness :-))
