Fun and money

Ahh the glitter and glamour of the advertisement from the manufacturer. Does anybody actually believe it? It all began when a local vendor call you up because the regional sales manager just came into the town, to demonstrate their newest smart microprocessor based equipment.

They will give you the catalogs which are just collection of pictures and buzz words complete with 32 digits model number that completely describe the off the shelf version. Eventhough the catalogs are enourmous, they don't give enough information to determine whether the instruments will fit your application.

Vendors have a different outlook on the job. They are not worries of whether an instrument will actually work. Because they are rarely get out into the field. Since very little data is ever gathered on the actual performance of instruments. Any problem relayed js usually discounted as being caused by poor installation.
