Well it also took out some of the late nights too. With every forward step we leave something behind.

Those of y'all who were involved in Bid Matching by hand know that there is no public satisfaction as wonderful as saying, "Match - and QUOTA!"

There really isn't, a computer printout just isn't the same as Hand Matching. Yes, much MUCH faster, efficient and accurate (well, as long as the computers work properly!) but I'll never forget the joys of "Match" and "Quota"!

Don't forget the Very Satisfied Smug Face!

Which helps the wounds from the poorly aimed dart heal much, much faster!
