What's a "Rolodex"?

You are.  You still haven't explained how to get a Napco LCD keypad to
read:  "Attention Burglar!"  on the first line and "Go Ahead. Make My
Day." on the second.  I (along with Bob La Londe, and Jim) would really
like to know.

"Trunk Slammer" started off as a reference to any trades person that
considers a job "done" when he slams the trunk (back doors) of the his
car/truck at the end of it.  He's never heard of after sales service and
more than likely has a BBB report as bad as yours.  Since I first heard
it used (when I got into the trade 25 years ago), it's "expanded" to
include any trades person that works from his home with a single service
vehicle (which is blatantly unfair as many of these guys *are* just
starting out, have an excellent business plan, and recognize that good
service is "key" to the growth of any successful *service business*).
