[Name], that was the last question but before I go I'd like to take this opportunity to personally invite you to visit the General Kinetics booth at the upcoming IMTS show, being held at McCormick Place in Chicago September 9-16.

General Kinetics is a recognized expert helping companies like Reynolds & Reynolds, General Motors, Allied Signal and NCR get maximum return from the investments they've made in supervisory control systems.

If you stop by you can take part in demonstrations and discussions on today’s industrial computers, operation systems and automation tools.

You'll see new tools available to help companies gain better control of day-to-day operations including cost-effective ways to better monitor and manage workflow, materials management, equipment, and personnel.
