Message From The President
Tools Are Amazing! By: Mike Bidwell ARE
By: Mark Liston
To preface what I’m about to write, take five minutes to read Mike Gai’s article on page 10 first, as I’ll reference it. P odcast, TV, iBooks, Health, AT&T Passport, Pypestream, Speak, Wallet, Find Friends, Health, Waze, Regal, Guidebook, OneNote, iCloud Drive, Tripit, Dictation, Tips, Watch, CTRN Online, and Elements are all apps on my iPhone. I don’t know why they are there. Probably because someone told me that they were very good apps and I needed to get them. If you opened any of these, you will see that I didn’t set them up properly, if at all. For many, probably even many of you, these are extremely valuable. My wife, Mary Kay, won’t drive anywhere out of town
without using Waze. I went to use it recently while visiting kids in Cleveland and found it wasn’t even set up on my phone. Last time I used it with Mary Kay, on her phone, I took us to a donut shop instead of where we were heading 90 miles away. I pressed the wrong button because I didn’t know what I was doing. Now, look at the following words and see if all of them mean something to you: part notes auto, standardizing parts-flat, RARE Toolbox, Predictive Profiles, Home Advisor, Angie’s List, Listen 360, MPG, Shower Design Guide, MobilePRO, Status Codes, Clarity phones, Nationwide, Key Metrics, the Budgeting Tool, Mainstreet .NET version, ADAS, Opti-Aim, Facility Maintenance Companies, Networks, Glaxis, EDI, CE classes, Apartment Program, and Insightly CRM. To emphasize my point, listen to this K-Mart radio ad from “Dick & Bert”. You can find it on YouTube at “Dick & Bert K-Mart-Commercial” .
