Happy 4th of July, My friends! 
As we celebrate our nation's independence, remember those who have and continue to defend that independence. The world is a complected place, and there are many issues for all free nations as autocracies make clear their aspirations.

Free Nations can become vulnerable when their people take freedom for granted and believe freedom is without sacrifice.

As we shoot off the fireworks more than likely made in China, let's think about everything we have allowed China to produce for us. Let's think about the great American companies China has bought; let's think about our nation's desire to lower costs as we consider what the actual price could one day be.

America and all her free nation friends must ask what sacrifices must be made to decouple from what is now the reality of an autocratic government set on replacing the world's democracies with a dictatorship-led Communism.

It's simple, my friends. If Communist China ever gains power over the free world, all the world's freedoms will end.

The Chinese Communist Party, led by its dictator, is waiting patiently as they collect the wealth of the free world, and one day the free world will awaken to something they not only paid for but ignored.

Have a great 4th of July! Just remember, the benefits of freedom must include perpetual sacrifice.

Should Konica Minolta & Ricoh - Exit Industrial Print? I Think YES!

I believe both Ricoh and Konica Minolta are too weak to be serious contenders. They both seem to be in a perpetual state of on-the-job training. If one listens to their leaders within their industrial business units, one can only recognize hope as the foundation of their business strategy, and we all know that hope doesn't pay the bills!

Now is the time for all Konica Minolta Dealers to consider their future. Dealers with multiple OEM lines, in addition to the Konica Minolta line, maybe should consider eliminating the Konica Minolta line altogether. A dealer could have great leveraging power with their other OEMs if they chose one to replace their Konica Minolta MIF.
