That is when the board we are now using came on line and the Greenhorn Carpet Commando (now known as "Greenie") was the first to post. FYI

I didn't have the privilege of knowing about this board or Excellent Supply at that time. I am however privileged to be here now. Thanks everyone, for all of your help.

what Richard said. i WISH i knew about the advantages of this system back in '02...but a year and a half later was still a good start for my biz.

thanx for this Excellent forum Rick!

It's been fun hasn't it? Over 4 years now! (and they said encap was just a fad - lol)

And for history's sake, I should mention that we had a predecessor to this message board too. That first board lasted about a year.
We then moved to this new hosting company because the old message board was not stable enough for the flow of traffic we were getting.

Speaking of traffic...
Here's a snapshot of our statistics for this message board during the past year.



Looks like we may have a few lurkers hanging out here

Thanks to all of you who support this message board and help to make it the cool place that it is.

Asia, Africa, Europe and Greenland are your "weak" spots...better step it up.

thanx --- Derek.

I`ve been down here (literally!) in Santiago Chile SA for several days now while my wife has been doing some consulting with the engineering faculty of the University of Chile. I have yet to see a Cimex, a Challenger, or any other of the great tools we use. I think I`m going to shoot for the continental distributorship of both these machines, and for Releasit as well. Then I`ll just sit back and count the pesos. Anybody want to be sales guy for, say, Argentina and Patagonia?

good deal Mark.

but Kazakhstan and Siberia are mine, so stay away!

thanx --- Derek.
