I have a SUV and so does Kelli. We both lost our SVX's to get them. I needed a large 4x4 that would get me to work no matter the weather, but had to be big enough for 2 kids and 2 German Shepards plus the resulting cargo. But I don't drive like an idiot and I can park my Nissan in one try, not 6-8 like some SUV drivers.

You've obviously never used Jasco Marine stripper. I have. Even outdoors you can't get near it without a mask or you will be gasping for air.

It does work really nice for removing catalyzed basecoat/clearcoat for a complete restoration job.

It sounds like BS, but it is a cool story anyhow, and I carried work in my truck, like MEKP... Jasco can give heart attack like symptoms if it is breathed in concentration, and I hate that $#!+
I've used MEK. What's MEKP used for??

It is a report generation tool that most big companies use, even though no one knows why. It pulls information from databases and creates a printable report with it.

Its so comprehensive that one would need to focus 100% of their attention on it to learn it, yet it is assigned to people to use as a tertiary job function.

I hate it, everyone I work with hates it, even Crystal Reports specialists I have talked to hate it. I have not found anything that Crystal Reports can do that the database software's built in report writer can't do. Yet all the executives see the ads and think they need it.

We use it and we like it. In fact we are sending 5 employees to learn it to spit out nifty reports for upper management.

Meh, it's built into their "Directlink" invoicing software. It's one of the many programs we have to support in our department. We support FedEx servers, Enterprise (front end) and web integration as well.
