I caught this going to print. Please make the change on the front as well as send me another high and low res set. In the Samtec part number there is no space in the DH portion. Again, the back is correct. Thanks Tim Tim Leary Marketing Consultant SiliconSystems, Inc. The Future of Storage...TodayR

I went ahead and made the correction to the front of the sell sheet, but caught something else right before sending back... have you ever noticed that the tiger on the front of the Samtec web site looks, well, a bit fruity? They have elevated terminals, flex jumpers... and a gay fruity tiger in a sailor uniform on there. I'm glad I'm (insert job here) instead of a web designer. :) I took out the space as you asked, and the back looks ok too, but not as good as yours... ;) Talk soon!

Can't remember ... :) If you want to laugh - check this link out at You Tube. This is there marketing department gone insane.

Working on the files, might send something extra along with them. :) On Wed, 11 Feb 2009, Tim Leary wrote: ": " Hmmm - have you seen my back ... ?

The link was forwarded by one of our guys who got it from Samtec. They wanted our logo! I freaked and sent everyone a blast saying that all use of our name, logo, product needs to be cleared by legal. Hajeck would go nuts if we were positioned next to a cross dresser. Yikes. Send me something good ... :) Tim

The backs, not the pictures... lol I don't really know Hajeck that well, just an occasional mention once in a while. It's probably better to be safe than sorry, though. Any good stories to share? And you'll have to define "good", mister. ;)

When we were launching the new version of the site, I was taking extra spaces out between periods / sentences in pop up boxes that were about 9 pt type and buried in the site. That was at 4AM while going live! So - from a world of full justification on any doc, required comprehensive knowledge of hyphens, dashes and objects of prepositions in sentences, to logos that print clean on the worst printer we have -- putting our brand next to a cross dresser is like having the KKK use Obama in an ad or something. Good? - Some good source code or something ... what else could I possibly want. Cheers Tim

If I'm not tucked in and dead to the world by midnight, I might as well either take the next day off or find original ways to amuse myself at my desk the next day. Remind me my why I'm laying out these documents instead of just laying out on my couch? lol Considering the programmers I know are home on their computers and not at work, what else would you want?

Done I have it corrected on the artwork for printing. Need the new files for internal. I will think of something ... been having a dark chocolate fit all day. Cheers Tim

Tell me about it. I'm trying this low-fat chocha mocha thing, just isn't doing it for me. Maybe I should have tried vanilla... ;)
