Oh. I worked in CT for 24 years -- ran a small alarm company. It was a lot
of fun.

Hmm. I didn't realise Honeywell owned installing companies. They weren't in
my area at least.

During the last 2 or 3 years I was in Connecticut I started an online store.
The intent was to sell a few components online to add to my buying power. I
figured I'd get a better cost of goods sold if I was ordering more hardware.
To my surprise the online business took off. Within a short time it was
grossing more than my brick and mortar business. When I moved to Florida,
instead of starting all over I just concentrated on the web business. That's
worked out fairly well for me. I'm now semi-retired. I'll never go back to
installing -- too old and to tired to do that any more.
If you ever thought about doing something online, take a look at my website.
It's just one example of an online alarm store. There are others that are
more profitable but not that many. Anyway, it's a fun way to parlay your
alarm experience into a source of income without climbing around in people's
attics any more. :^)
