Thanks for your comments. We’ve always had plans for FR, but life always seems to get in the way (long story that I don’t want to get into right now). But (God willing) I’m sure we have a great future. The next generation of the Robinson family is getting ready to take the reins, and they have great ideas.

We are not a big modern hi-tech company, by the way. It’s just the four of us. My son John is our primary programmer and tech guy. I taught John everything I knew about programming and then he went out on his own and learned a whole lot more.

One lesson John took to heart is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Admittedly, we took this to the extreme, but we are now enjoying a period of relative stability. A few years ago, John finally found the problem in our systems software that was causing random crashes. And that also fixed our sluggishness problem. Then three years ago, we retired our old home-grown hardware system and updated to a totally new hardware platform, and now we never have a hardware crash. The only crash we’ve had in three years was an administrative crash, and hopefully we won’t have any more of those.

And thank you for all of your support!

God bless,

Jim

Oh yeah, and we don’t have any consultants. FR started out as just a hobby and grew from there. It’s more a labor of love than a hi-tech business.
