Chant this 3x a day; "Sorry [insert client name here], we really love you as
a client but we feel that we cannot support this alarm system any longer.
After all it IS 32 years old and if you amortize what you have spent over
the years it's only cost you 20 bucks a year. Now it is time you seriously
considered remodeling this system"

them

do

let
| go of their old shit to save their life... But again.... I dont care...

|
| oh... btw.. I have a few of these types of alarm system.... I have a
| customers with an Ademco Deluxe 1000 control,   a 340R out there, a
| Dictograph alarm and an Ademco 508 fire system with the old 6 volt smoke
| detectors... (I hate that system)
|
| I give my customers options and then they choose.. Sometimes they choose
the
| way I would not have picked...
