Jennifer,

You always have something thought provoking to say. THe activity trap is one of the largest reasons why many printing companies can't see the forest for the trees. The inability to see through busywork that bloats headcounts and payroll is keeping many of the remaining survivors from achieving the viability that will insure they are here for the long haul. Without the cash reserves, reinventing oneself in this environment is impossible. Enough said or I'll be rewriting my article! :)
