color=#0000ff size=2>The big frustration with these systems is=
when you go out to a regular client (churches, usually) and find=
the system unplugged or dry and the piano +/- 15 cents. Then=
what do you do? I usually eat the lost appointment, plug it=
in/fill it up, and reschedule for two weeks. Sometimes I will=
change the pads and charge $25 for a service call and pad=
change so it is not a total loss. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
