I have the same thing. Two large (very well known companies) customers of mine send me a check dated 30 days from my invoice date. No longer do companies seem to pay for the previous month with one check. Some weeks I will get a check every day. If I do two or three computers in one day for either of them, the check will reflect that.
Amy & Kenny Faulk and myself were talking to Scooter at Comp's hospitality tent (mooching lunch) at the Mid South's a couple years ago when Mikronite was in the process of purchasing Crane. Comp wanted to bid on Crane then, but they refused to entertain a bid from Comp. Still some bad blood there I guess. Looks like Crane might be a tad cheaper now anyway.
Some of you might be old enough to remember Harvey Crane's vow to bury Cam Dynamics and Mark Heffington. He finally had to buy Mark out. Mark now owns Hypertech. Don't think Mark is hurting too bad.
