<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Quintin,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Maybe using machines instead of =
human aptitudes
to make something is something people in France are not used =
to."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Machines and human aptitudes are not =
separated.
The use of machines enabled the French to manufacture Mirage jet
airplanes,Citroens,great cheese and wine! The machine did not replace =
the
humans aptitudes,it allowed him to use them more =
efficiently. Is
there a real difference between a master vintenor and a master piano
tuner?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"The customers can be very reluctant =
to this, but
also a lot of techs, who really don't consider these devices as a =
second pair
of ears, or as an aid to make their job." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is their loss not =
yours.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"disappointed, because in their =
minds, piano
tuners are making something magic with their ears, and they truly =
believe that
very few people are able to tune pianos."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"So this exactly deals with customer =
education."
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes,and this includes debunking myths =
and old
wives tales.</FONT></DIV>
