thanks Nils,  it just gets to be old stuff to hear about those vendors that

"gave plenty of warning about a problem", but was allowed to go on anyway.

There's a reason why the power company, etc., cuts off service if payment is

not being made on time or according to a plan worked out with them.  They

have learned that $$$$ talks and BS walks (as my late dad used to say).

I'm sure you wouldn't continue to work for a company that was so...... far

behind.

Good time to require "advance pay" on any new orders and a payment plan

that is being honored, otherwise tell them to kiss off, or something close.
