Pencil, I like that...eraseable.
EVERYTHING will be in pencil, we are going to be the pencils industry's largest customer, if we go broke, they'll broke, that's our goal.

I am not sure that would be wise, we need to use suppliers that employ americans, that way we can make the claim that if we go broke, they broke, in fact it would prolly be in our best interest to use a supplier that is quite small now, they will have to hire man more employees and they will know they are dependent on us to keep their staff employed, so they will bitch to gov't. Basically the more americans we have directly or indirectly in our employ the larger the bail out. Although, if the US gov't ever decided that trade deficits were important again, your day may be golden.
Just for the record Defprun you are already setting yourself up for management, i like your thinking, you should expect a 6 figure salary within the first couple of months.
