  • American Recorder (ART) Two RCA Female to Stereo 3.5mm Female Adapter Gold
This stuff was ordered from baystereo.com musiciansfriend.com, bestbuycable.com, and bhphotovideo.com. I'm not making this list to illustrate how little I know about the recording industry. That should be obvious to anyone who reads this blog. But the point I made to Anthony Thompson, who's trying to grow this business, is this old saw:
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
It's true that if Anthony were to sell his business later on, and not sell himself with it, he'd lose a great deal of value. It's him -- his experience, his knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, his customers -- that give the components he buys such extra value.

The same thing with the IMET Corporation. They bought designnotes.com -- both the name and the company -- to expand their customer base and break into a new line of work -- do-it-yourself design assistance -- that dovetails well with their existing lines. So again, the whole is greater. Isn't it something when the world follows cliche laws like that?

The IMET guys tell me, by the way, that though the money isn't exactly rolling in (and I can easily believe that, because of buying a company), they have all the work they can handle. Forgive me if I am just a bit proud of that fact. I will post the Secret Origin of the IMET Corporation a little later.
