Dear Bill,


Great pictures on your trip to Mexico.  Did you say you climbed the pyramid
shown in the picutre?


I would like to take a picture for inclusion in my web site of a  typical
manager's desk to illustrate the need for "intelligence" that reduces
paper handling.  Seems like you showed us a camera at Christmas or Thanksgiving
last year that takes a digitized picture, which would be ready to go.  Could I
borrow it, or possibly we could hook up one day when you are in the city and go
take the picture.  There is a specific office on Market near BART that has a
perfect desk for this picture.  The paper is so high that you can barely see
the guy at the desk.


Actually, we might take a picture of my desk, to show the difference between
using "intelligence" and using documentation.


Sincerely


THE WELCH COMPANY
