hi again...i think it is great if you want to learn the part numbers, i do pretty well on that

the reason i brought this whole silly thing up is that it seems that more and more we are replacing a name with a number..thats great in todays world. it does pay off to be able to make a parts list using only numbers...i do it...i always give a description too...

i do not mind helping the parts house guys..you have to keep them happy...

on the job speaking to a client or an asociate i will call out a number and get a dumb look..then say oh a box or a connector..

when you are dealing with a helper who is still a green horn, an X needs to be an X and EYS needs to be an EYS...a fishtape is a fishtape ...

thanks for the great replies...

interesting jibberish
