A salesman is a man who knows very little about many things and keeps learning less and less about more and more until he knows practically nothing about everything. A purchasing agent starts out knowing everything about everything but ends up knowing nothing about anything due to his association with engineers and salesmen. -- Barry Kimelman [ UUCP address: ...!philabs!micomvax!barry ] phone: (514) 744-8200 ext. 2433 (7:30 AM to 5:00 PM eastern time) Nothing is impossible if you do not have to do it yourself !!
