How this works

As an on-going support service to our customers we try to spend a portion of our time generating some 'hard-copy' materials to supplement our verbal and on-site instructions.

However, in no way do we mean for these to be any more than rough-draft notes that may help with minor details or give a different perspective. Frankly, we have given these materials a fairly low priority, and our customers should limit their expectations accordingly.
