Re: Devcon Buys Out Coastal Security, Adelphia, & Guardian

["mikey" <loismustdie@xxxxxxxx>]

This from a guy who calls his president "bush".
I had to read that fucking lease idear paragraph about 6 times,
I'm BUSHED.

Hmmmm, it's clever but not competitive at single user level but
for bigger systems, I'd look to put together a package
for retirement homes. The last leasing outfit I talked to we're bored
with my numbers... a referral would be great, give them my
contact info if you like, I have a quote to put together now as a matter
of fact. They can't afford 5K let alone 20K. You can have them e-mail
to anythingATmedi-call.ca, even smokesignals@ and I'll get it.
