With regards to PacComm, it has moved out between Tampa and Brandon, but
Linda still builds the Tiny, Sprint/Spirit along with newer products.
We have a lot of
them in service here in the Tampa area, but then the support is not
too bad either
since all we have to do is drive over there.

She has given us a lot of support with regards to our network. Gwyn is
pretty much
out on the road so you will rarely see him.
