Re: PROMAX out of business?

some quite strong opinions in this post about a company going under, in fact not sure if totally specific to them going under, anyway.

in my opinion smaller the company better the service, better supporting them by buying from them rather than the big guys

however SATA came along and changed things

other thing I would suggest is that I have always been of the opinion that any hardware I buy will break at some point soon and I better work out myself how to fix it (apple care support - joke, learn it yourself and get techtoolpro)

so I would say kit is cheaper, macs work with any hardware now and people know more

accept it the kids grow up, they used computers since they were infants some other generations didnt.

I do recognise quality of what passes for TV is getting worse (just turn on BBC news night scotland)

also think shanes comment about talent is particularly important here. until people recognise that talent comes from many different practices these conversations about whos allowed to do work, whos allowed the knowledge .... will continue.

my opinion "knowledge shouldnt be so precious get it out there, just make sure the people learning are as thoroughly as those showing them".
