![]() ![]() My apologies to the long running show M.A.S.H. I will no longer be posting to this blog, but I will leave it as an archive as there is indeed some useful info that hopefully some people will still stumble across. I raise a family on the salary I earned as a Technician, Troubleshooter, Field Service Manager, Solutions Team Managers, Color Sales Specialist, and a Vice President. I have good memories from my time in this industry. Time would fail to talk of each of the men & women I have worked with over the past 34 years. These are just some of the people I have come to respect in this industry. I am not leaving the rest out to slight them but to name all of them would be impractical in a blog article. Then there are the great Hunters (Sales People) that I have worked with over the years, John “Sully” Sullivan, Doug Moore, and Cindy Albano just to name a few. For that reason she was one of my favorite Vendors. She would bird dog a problem until she got it resolved. But I have most of my fond memories of her when she worked at eCopy (then it became Nuance). Lynda Maglio is currently a Solutions Analyst at Konica Minolta. That is why I brought him over to NECS where he is currently the Director of Sales. I worked there for two plus years and Donn was the best boss I have ever had. James Seager also gets honorable mention for NTware support!ĭonn Clarke was my boss when I worked at ( RBS) Ricoh Business Systems. What can I say about Joe Lucas? If you ever get stuck with a complex UniFLOW problem Joe is the go to guy! He has helped me with major accounts more times than I can count. We had some great discussions during those meetings and continued them over some great dinners. Mike invited me and other key solutions people in the Independent Channel to join the Canon S.E.A.L. Mike did a tour at Samsung when they made a run at the Copier Industry but is back at Canon heading up their Solutions offerings. Which was the best SE training, in the most compact time frame, at a great location (Disney World or Disney Land). ![]() Back in the day when he was one of the driving forces behind Canon’s Technet. I have known Mike Betsco for a couple of decades now. Ned could hack a PPD with the best of them! Ned has forgotten more about Macs than most people will ever know. He is the best Mac guy I know, and has a good working knowledge of Linux. He is working for a Security Software Company and they are lucky to have him. Ned Bannan is one of the best industry Systems Engineer on the East Coast, But sadly Ned is no longer in the “Copier Industry”. We have and do talk on the phone from time to time, and I consider him a friend. I had the pleasure of having dinner with Art one night when I was in New Jersey for training. Talk about a “Copier Guy”, Art defines the term. Art has reposted some articles from this blog, and he always has great, relevant, Industry news. The Canon “Grid” ended the need for the CSlist and it has since been moth balled.Īrt Post, The has been a great industry resource. I learned and posted many “solutions” back in the day. We had SEs from all over the world posting non sanctioned Canon Networking solutions. He invited me to join his mailing list for Canon Systems Engineers. I met Charles at a Canon Technet conference and we immediately hit it off. It was a privilege to work for him for so many years.Ĭharles Kelly, who ran the (Mailing) list for years. Charlie is a real dyed in the wool “Copier Guy”, and he has a big heart. Charlie Tiernan who started NECS out of the back of his station wagon, and grew it to a major regional player with 7 offices and 2 Warehouses. I have had the privilege to be friends with some Giants of the Industry. Some people have said that I have toner in my blood, and maybe that is true. After nearly 30 years working for a Large Independent Dealer in New England ( NECS) I will be leaving this industry that I have loved. But I have come to a point in my life where I need to say goodbye to “The Copier Industry”. I started in this industry in 1978, with a walking territory in “The City” (that’s what New Yorkers call Manhattan).
