WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU, VENDOR, AND YOU, END USER?

First, we need more instrumentation technicians worldwide, and this is a worthy cause. But even more importantly, from a political view, one of the most important problems in the countries of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Chechniya, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Palestine is that nearly the entire population of young men between the ages of 18 and 35 are unemployed with no prospects of ever being so. This, of course, makes them ready fodder for people who want to turn them into human bombs, and so forth. Anything that can make them employable, and that can help the local economies by employing them is good for us, good for them, good for the world's economy and political stability. It is a Good Thing(tm) all around. So, let's open up the wallets, folks.
