That would have made a lot of difference to me back
when i was still installing.  Unfortunately, it was fairly
uncommon.  About the only places we got to see demos
were ISC, CSE, CEDIA and EHXpo and those were
all once a year events.

These days most of the large distributors do "counter
days."  ADI has their regional events and training
seminars which help, but no one speciallizing in CCTV
(that I know of) has a program quite like this.  I hope it
pays off big-time for you, Tom.

We're doing one thing in common in our online marketing,
Tom.  I've decided to offer lease/purchase ($1 buyout) to
our CCTV clients.  If it takes off, we'll add it to access
control offerings.  We'll see how that all works out.

How about a specific part number, please?
