[1] I am a businessman. I can tell with my background I worked on many projects. I have never in my life given any thought to what will be next on these various things so I cannot tell. I think we will see in a long time whether this will move in the direction of a better environment, with more money and with better education and other things. However when it comes to the new production technology we have now we will be able to create things, create products. There is no better way for people to live because if we change a culture, if we create more of a world a big company like Byte will be able to make products that were not made by Byte in the first place. So I can say that, while the market is changing, we have to be responsible to manage the situation and to deal with the new technology. It takes some time in developing the problem from the first, to the second, in developing solutions, so I’m going to make sure we are working on the problems now. It means to me, that if we make the problem big enough it will be easier for us to solve all the problems.

I agree.
[2] This is the same story with regards to a new machine with a new product line. My name is Rachael T. We talked about the following topics in recent days.
We have to go ahead with the production of the new products for the time being, and after that we will move to a new production technology
First of all when our product will be made we will develop a high volume production business, or what I call a rapid production business (with the idea to build a large line of products), so we want to make money as much as possible in the market if there is a new business opening up.
How do we get your orders?
You can find instructions on how to do so at my blog
Let’s talk about the customer service issues now. These customer service issues are so big it will not be possible to address them all.
First of all, how do you handle the problems that I mentioned above. I have seen that people ask for free delivery on orders that are being dispatched. It seems they would like to get free delivery of their product or the next item they order.
I really trust that I am being honest about the problems. What should we do? Why do you ask for free delivery of stuff, it seems to me? Maybe you have seen that something like this has happened that you ordered from an online retailer. It didn’t work or isn’t right. Perhaps you have been contacted by someone on facebook who does these kinds of things.
I want my product to be something that looks different to someone who received it and wants to check it out for the next week. I want it to be the same product I ordered last week. Or maybe I will be sent it right away with
