In exploring what we can or cannot do on our new hardware product, I met today with the rep from the company that makes all the nameplates used in our hardware products. I received what I thought was a compliment:
“I don’t know if we can do that. I’m not saying that we cannot, but it’s just that you ask me to do things that we’ve never done before.”
He may have meant it more like “you’re such a pain where the sun doesn’t shine”, but I chose to take it otherwise!
