iProv Update:
How To Fully Benefit from Internet Technology
Arkansas Flag and Banner
Kerry McCoy started Arkansas Flag and Banner in 1975 with $400.00 and a good pair of walking shoes. She sold her flags door-to-door to businesses, schools, and churches. Today FlagandBanner.com is a multi-million dollar company that sells both custom and stock flags and banners to a worldwide customer base.
When asked how she was able to do this Kerry says, “Because we embraced change and specifically technology”. Kerry identified the value of technology early on and has leveraged it to grow her business.
She put a computer on every employee’s desk when most small businesses used a computer for accounting, if at all. Her sales people utilized the Internet for researching potential customers, growing her business outside its previous boundaries. Her buyers found new suppliers lowering cost or at least keeping current ones honest.

$1,000 for Five Minutes Joke May Be Reasonable
An email (joke) I received this week read: A mainframe computer on which everyone in the office depended suddenly went down. They tried everything, but it still wouldn't work. Finally, they decided to call in a high-powered computer consultant. He arrived, looked at the computer, took out a small hammer and tapped it on the side. Instantly, the computer leapt back to life.
Two days later, the office manager received a bill from the consultant for $1,000. Immediately, he called the consultant and exclaimed, "One thousand dollars for fixing that computer? You were only here five minutes. I want the bill itemized!" The next day, the new bill arrived.
It read:
Tapping computer with hammer: $1
Knowing where to tap: $999
