As most of you know, I was treated for cancer, and had Chemo and a robotic operation and now I’m back and so far so good. I was anxious to get back to the shop. A new customer came in and I picked up Cardtoon to demo it and I had no idea how it worked. I asked Phil. He said, “I never did it. You always demo it.” I put it aside.

Then I remembered that whoever bought it, I showed them how it worked because the instructions were so complicated I felt they would take it home and never use it.
