070801 - Follow up ref SDS 9 0000, ref SDS 7 0000.
070802 -
070803 - Received letter from Brad in which he intended to submit a quote for
070804 - a new computer and for DSL service, but the quotation information is
070805 - missing from his email.

071203 -
071204 - Received ref DRT 1 0000 from Brad at Mountain Computer responding to
071205 - my letter, ref DIP 1 0000, issued on 981030, ref SDS 9 0000, that
071206 - requests a quotation for a new system, from a discussion on 981029.
071207 - ref SDS 7 4137
071208 -
071209 - Brad evidently intended to include a quote and specification for a new
071210 - machine, but that informtion is not in his letter.  It may have been
071211 - an attachment or otherwise transmitted differently from his main email
071212 - message, as evidenced by a double bracketed string, but in any case we
071213 - did not get the quotation and the spec.
071214 -
071215 - Similarly, he submitted a quote for DSL Internet service, but it did
071216 - not get through to us in his email. ref DRT 1 0666
071217 -
071218 - This might be an example of email problems.

191204 -
191205 - Brad says regarding Communication Metrics method of using the Internet
191206 - to link chronologies showing related history for context and accurate
191207 - understanding...
191208 -
191209 -       Pretty cool way to do things. ref DRT 1 6480
191210 -
191211 - This seems to align with the letter from the U.S. Army Corps of
191212 - Engineers received on 981104, ref SDS 10 4320, which says Communication
191213 - Metrics on the Internet is "pretty neat." ref DRP 1 4550
191214 -
191215 - These views seem to reflect perceived value and benefit from adding
191216 - intelligence to management, using clear, concise, complete
191217 - communications, as explained on the Welch web site, ref OF 1 8527 and
191218 - discussed with Dave Buoncristiani on 960620. ref SDS 1 1643

191220 -     [On 981107 asked Dave about this. ref SDS 12 1200]
191221 -
191222 - Seems like "neat" and "cool" are simple ways to emotionally express
191223 - belief that time and cost savings are self-evident and irrefutable, as
191224 - cited by Max Blodgett on 980803. ref SDS 4 5141
191225 -
191226 -     [On 981119 Jim Lovo said benefits are self-evident. ref SDS 14
