Kelly in need of advice

Hello, I am Kelly from texas. Just getting started in cc. HAve been in the janitorial supply business for15 years. Also have cleaned carpet in all of my rent houses for a few years now. That is my experience. I know I have tons to learn and would appreciate any advice from any of you pros. I will be using portables and offering carpet, t&G, upholstery, etc. Can you offer advice on pricing (residential & commercial-by room or sf.), advertising, equipment, chemicals, customer service tips, spotting tips, or anything else you see fit. Thanks so much and I will return the favor to others just starting out when I feel like I have something valuable to offer.

No shame in my game.. Not a hard core gamer.. Why didnt i go quad.. what for? Cost alot more.. The other 2 cores are rarely used.. Unless your quad tasking.. Looked at the 8800GT but its slightly faster than my Sapphire Radeon 3870 and over $100 more for what a milisecond.. I'm overclocked anyways to almost 4GHz.. C2duo E8500..

IBM PC XT format.  640k, 2 360k floppy drives, Hercules graphics card, monochrome monitor and all of this running under DOS 3.2 with Windows 1.1 and using a 1200 Baud Hayes compatible modem. And this keyboard is so much better than my IBM Selectric!  I even have my joystick working as a mouse pointer using PoorMansMouse driver.  Kewlest system around and all for only $750, what a steal!! I am even getting a 10MB seagate harddrive with a 65ms speed using the latest MFM format.  How kewl is that?

I just can't wait to upgrade.  Can life really get any better?

I now have Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect and Framework.  Man, I can BBS all night long now.  And that 9 pin dotmatrix printer of mine really lets the neighbors know I have arrived.

Did I mention I have Mean 18 Golf?  And my chess and yahtzee games rock on.

I'll see what I can do to get you a new 12 mhz one.  Of course mine in a demo unit custom built to show off the latest hardware.  But I have a third world source who I think has connections. You will be the envy of all your friends.  And the really neat thing is you can meet girls with this.  Some even have clear complexions and are smaller than a hefer!  And you can download pictures of naked girls too.  Sure glad my wife goes to bed early.  Yep, just me and my computer looking at girls without clothes on.  And they think I am super hot.  I help them out with money when I can and they say they are going to come see me as soon as I get enough money for their bus tickets.  Am I LUCKY or WHAT?

Wait til I get you yours, it sure beats watching the Brady Bunch on TV!

And I learn things on the computer that I will need to know for top paying jobs in something I think they call CALL CENTERS making over $100,000/yr by the year 2010.  I am so glad I got my own computer!!
