[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 4540100, member: 718"] Nearly 15 years ago! :eek: Where has all that time gone? I'd only started on that job, my first and only off-farm one, some six months before. It was a steep learning curve but I enjoyed it immensely. It was just the owner and myself selling back then and during that first year we sold over 100 new tractors between us plus used ones and implements. We had a few good years like that, but also very slow ones. That's the way it goes. One of the biggest problems I had in the first few months was keeping track of so many contacts and enquiries and ensuring I didn't miss any. My experience with computers provided the answer and I soon had the both of us equipped with Compaq Ipaq digital personal organisers. Bloody marvellous things. Today their job has been taken over by mobile phones and iPads, but those Ipaqs did just fine for several years. If I was doing the job today I would use Evernote on the phone synchronised to iPad and desktop, without a doubt. [/QUOTE]
