We would like to think that when we flip the calendar to January 1, 2021 all of the turmoil of 2020 will be behind us. Of course, that is not true. The COVID virus does not identify a new year, we can only hope that with the advancements being made, that our world will be a safer place soon.
We all know that there are great advantages to maintaining our audio / visual systems, especially when a breakdown or failure occurs. Similar to our To Do lists of projects around the house, or the maintenance we need on our car, it always seems we are just too busy to bring an AV Tech in to repair the “small things” and test and calibrate a system so that it is performing at its best.

The end of 2017 is already here, and you’re probably looking forward to spending time with family and friends celebrating the holiday season and the pending New Year.
It’s that wonderful time of year again, Thanksgiving. This holiday has always been my favorite. Food, drink, family and of course football. I have used this as a reminder to reflect on the last year and all of the things for which I am thankful.
