Happy Wednesday!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gartner Predicts IT Spending Will Plummet By $300 Billion\nIn 2020 As CIOs Slash Budgets<\/a>. To a large degree this makes a lot of\nsense to me. The country has been shut down for weeks and weeks, lets just say\n3-4 months by the time people are back in the swing of things \u2013 maybe. So, If\nyou lose 1\/3 of your year it stands to reason that you\u2019d spend less on IT this\nyear. But while logical, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s music to the ears of everyone\nin the IT supply chain. If product A isn\u2019t getting bought, the components that\nmake up product A aren\u2019t getting bought, and the labor to make them isn\u2019t\nneeded, and so on and so on. I\u2019ve basically just described how an economy\nworks. The wheels on the bus go round and round. Anyway, only time will really\ntell. I know there are plenty of people ready to GET SOMETHING DONE so if they\ncan advance their projects they will. But, both companies and individuals alike\npull back on discretionary spending when things are uncertain or revenue is\ndown. That\u2019s why consumer spending is one of the biggest predictors of economic\ngrowth \u2013 as they spend, the businesses have to invest to keep up with the\ndemand, and the wheels on the bus go round and round. What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\nwas a big day. After a heck of a lot of waiting, and money spent, we finally\ngot a shipment of 800 thermometers<\/a> in today. I used UPS\nCRITICAL to ship this one in, and even though it is about the most expensive\nshipping you can buy, it still took 6 or 7 days to get here. Customs leaving\nChina plus the capacity on planes is just overrun. But, they showed up and this\nmorning we will start getting orders out. Finally. I still have others on order\nthat should be here shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a video of it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
