[GreenKeys] At The Movies

[Jack]

The studio paid immediately...they had no argument when I sent
them the before and after pictures.  But the money doesn't fix
the machines.

GA OMs;

And we all should keep a copy of this e-mail, so that the next time a movie
studio wants to borrow a machine, the e-mail can be forwarded to them.

Jack - let us know how much money you get out of the studio (and I don't
mean PROMISED - I mean when the check is cashed).

During a recent trip to Phoenix
I saw a place, Einstein Burger.
The first thing that came to mind
was that, they must be relatively good.
