By Bill Floyd

The subject of ecommerce won't go away. It can't go away. The future is the future. That's where you're going whether you want to or not. Contractors know that if they don't ride that train, there won't be a train to ride. So they are getting onboard faster than most of the folks who serve them realize. There is more than one way to address ecommerce some are more readily available and economical to enter than others. Your strategy also depends on the market that you now serve or hope to serve in the future.

Steve Maurer, IME

I have several electrical meters around the house. I once had one that folded up like a wallet and fit in my shirt pocket. I really like meters. My wife, however, thinks I'm an addict.
