Gillette's Marketing Genius

When I turned 18, the Gillette company sent me a "Gillette Sensor" razor. This marketing strategy is pure genius! Ten years and countless refills later, I've paid for the razor and then some.

Even though it's getting harder to find replacement blades, I still hang onto this razor. I tried upgrading once, because I thought I'd lost the original. I didn't like the newer model as much, though, and went right back to the first razor when I found it.

Thanks, Gillette.

Kudos to SBC


…this time

I have been having an issue with my DSL service lately. I called SBC for repair this AM, and after I got away from the call center in India, I got a very nice operator here in the states. She dispatched a service tech who arrived within a few hours.

The service tech was professional and extremely helpful. He found the problem, the network interface box, immediately. Replaced it and was on his way.

The only thing that would have made this better would be if I didn’t have to call India to get service.

Kudos SBC. You done good … this time. Yes, I have had questionable service in the past.
