This is Turtle.
Well i will tell you this. I was told years a go with a big S to not tell a
customer that they don't want or need a new system when they ask for one if it
was just plain out wanting one. If they were being screwed by someone else and
you stop it don't sell them one and tell them about it. OK but never stop a sale
if the customer just said Hey i want a new one for you can loose a bunch of
customers when you tell a customer no to what he wants. The customer is always
right.
