[Histonet] I have a funny

[Donna Brown]

Thanks for stating this so well, Terre.  My work includes tech support our 
company and it's extremely useful to me to know when one of our items is 
working well or if it's difficult to use.  Most customers simply don't take 
the time to provide any feedback but it's important for the financial 
health of each company to provide the highest quality products and to fix 
problems promptly.

The bottom line is that we're all in this business together- whether you're 
the person in the lab providing the services your hospital and/or doctor 
need, or if you're associated with a company that provides supplies, 
equipment, etc.  We rely on one another; everyone benefits from the truth.
