Hi Wayne:

    I very much agree, but I'm afraid I worded my post differently from
    what I meant. I feel a business should always have a buffer held in
    savings...just in case. Even I, as a small-time crafter, have what I
    call a "special savings" account. What I meant to say was that I
    don't operate in the red. I agree with your point completely and
    probably, when I am more established, will operate in the same way. 

    BTW, my special savings is about to come in very handy for my
    upcoming classes with Kulicke. I knew I kept that money for a good
    reason! 

Best Regards,
Kim Starbard
