Re: Business is slowing



Where are you located?
Seems problems are growing along the Mexican border, and I am sure you could sell security systems along there.

What sector are you in? �A friend of mine that I talked to last week
said his retail business is still doing very well.

Do we get to call you Al then? �;-)

Fred

We sell and service large security, CATV and communication systems to
schools, nursing homes, prisons and others. Some of the work we do is
for government by public bid, for now we stopped that. Companies are
bidding so low that I can't take a chance trying to match them, they
are really hungry right now, I'll let them take the job and go belly
up.

AL is my hero!
