At first there was some opposition, especially from my father's older
customers who knew what his opinion of ETAs were. While he never used a SAT,
he did have the opportunity to see and hear me use it and was quite
impressed. A number of his old customers called to see how he felt about it
and the SAT got his OK, which was good enough for them. They mostly seem to
love it now.

Only one customer lately questioned it, and didn't like the tuning at all
when I was finished. I checked it, then re-tuned it aurally and it was
basically the same, but she preferred the aural tuning. It might just have
been psychological though.

literature on it in my catalogue case (along with books, pamphlets,
bulletins and CD-ROMs) just in case people are really interested in how it
works.

That used to be me... I didn't like them at all at first because I didn't
really trust them. Once I got my own, that opinion changed within days. Now,
I'd hate to be without it.
