You know how you can be really busy and yet bored to death? It was one of those days yesterday. I was just selling computers to dozens of nameless, faceless people. Then, as I'm dealing with this one couple, I have a sudden burst of brain activity. This guy is wearing a Wilderness instructor belt... and an ESEE shirt... and his email address is @jungletraining.com. Standing before me is 2/3 of the ESEE staff and it took me at least three minutes for it to register!

I was very surprised and excited to run into Jeff and Patricia, and they were surprised and excited to run into an enthusiast. We talked for a few minutes; I asked about the distant future Izula folder, and Jeff brilliantly distracted me by handing me the two ESEE-3F prototypes. After handling them, I'm very anxious to see this one go to production. It's built like a tank.

Jeff made it clear that they weren't leaving without my mailing address. I apparently have knives in the mail. And to think, earlier I'd been complaining about how tight money was and how my knife budget had fallen by the wayside.

Thanks guys, you made my day. Drop in on me anytime!
 
Good things happen to good people my friend! Something I live my life by.

That's awesome you got a little sneak peak too! :)
 
Thats cool. It would be nice to meet them some time. I talked to Patricia on the phone the other day about the military discounts and she was super nice and answered all of the questions I had.

Patricia and I both really enjoyed meeting you, Phil. We had just finished eating at Red Robin and decided to drop into your store because we needed a new computer for the business. Great customer service in your store. We were very impressed and will be back. Maybe we can buy you dinner one night when we come back down.
 
Your a lucky man Phil congratulations on your soon to be received knives. Now we just need to get you a Rat Pack #.

Oh and welcome to the darkside. ;)
 
I run two Macs and like them the best but we have to have PC for some software we have to have that is not available for MAC.

:thumbup: Mac's for life! Haha :D
I hear ya on the PC only software. Kind of a drag when I gotta work on a junk box all day.. I guess it makes it that much nicer coming home to the Mac tho!

I dont know if you remember but you were more than helpful the other day through emails assisting me in finding an RC-4. I had quite a few people contact me after you sent out the word. I ordered an Izula II that should be here tomorrow and am hoping to place an order for the RC-4 in the next few days. Thanks again!

Jeff is a great guy as is Mike..... I'm waiting to meet Patricia oneday ?
Jeff shut down the business(for a few days) and bring her with you to the Shows (one I attend) :)
 
Tony,

Patricia weighs more than 500 pounds so it's hard to get an airline ticket for her!
 
But.... did you sell him on the service plan? :)

That's a pretty awesome chance meeting. Also clock me in for liking macs. I've got a couple running here, and a graveyard of older ones. (even a few Apple ]['s in the pile...)

That's what the nice people at VMware made Fusion for. So you can run PC software on your Mac :-)

I'm an IT guy and hate Macs.

You can buy software that will enable you to run a Virtual Windows OS on your Mac. It would be like a program that you open up that is actually a full Windows OS. You can then install your specific software on the virtual instance of the Windows OS.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll give you some free IT consultation for your business.

Man, stawberry lemonade, and a Bacon/Cheddar burger. Red Robin is fantastic food.

Jeff and Mike both are great guys. First time I met them, was at SMKW, I went to see Toooj, and found out they were there. They were both standing behind the counter, BS'n, and I walked up and said "Excuse me, gentlemen, could you recommend a knife for mutilating a hog?" They both kinda stared for a second, then Jeff's head split open in one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen.

Great guys. Nuff sed.
