Hmmm . . .

It seems to me that if you're having to ask these simple questions, then you
may be in over your head when you come up against a tough problem. Ex :

Marti Unit when the radio guys show up.

Just be sure that you don't get pushed into a situation where you're having
to guarantee the results. make sure you're just selling them your time.
