Viewpoint August 6, 2009 by Dave HaynesGood point on 2, those guys obviously have all the news, weather and traffic reports they need. Although in most scenarios you’d be totally right on 1 also, the photo provided may not be giving you the full story. This looks very similar to an installation I saw at a car rental place. At any …

Screens at truck service centers great idea, but a little fumbled on the execution August 5, 2009 by Dave Haynes There’s a little piece in Digital Signage Today about some Peterbilt Truck Centers in the US south putting screens in to their parts and service counters and wait lounges.

Your right, as usual… August 4, 2009 by Dave HaynesDave, you’re right about everything. LinkedIn has degenerated into a heap of self-promotional nonsense.

Compnay name…. August 4, 2009 by Dave Haynes“Mommentum” – that seems designed to have customers NOT find you on Canada411, online, etc… I am sure they have a great reason for their cute name but since it is apparently a reason known only to them… 😉
