Any idea's to make this better. I'm aiming at Small Business. Well i'll love those friendly feedback.
Hey, are you buying or selling those systems? It sounds like you're selling them, but aren't those prices high? I have no idea what retail prices are anymore, but that seems like a large markup...are those prices for 4 systems?
