What does “half-written” mean, in this context?
1 comments

I assume that meant hand written.

“Dearest Kon-Peki, thank you for purchasing the hydraulic wall crusher 9000. I think you will find this one will last slightly longer than the 8000, but as always, I am ready to sell you the newest model of this one were to suffer the ignominy so many do.”

(It’s probably jewelry but it often amuses me that small businesses will spend millions on equipment with a phone call and some grunting but other purchases for half the money require so much hand holding.)

Equipment and tools are productivity multipliers and good ones can be resold for same value - wear.

Think of it like dual monitors, do tech companies often balk at getting someone a second monitor or is it a no brainer?

Yes. Foiled by autocorrect.
Thanks :)

I wasn't sure if there was a term of art that I was missing :)
