You are assuming all change is good.

All change is not good. If Wendy's changes their piped in music to rap, I'm outta there. If changes turns customers off, the change = failure. People speak with their wallets.

Scooter boy/Dave gave a great example.

Enough said.
No sense arguing with someone who wont change or at the very least resist it. So I wont do that.

But I offer these thoughts:

Might as well bring back the old typewriters and ledgers for customer billing and the ticker tape for the stock market while were at it.

How would you do your job without your computer to manage your customer accounts?

I could give a million examples of change being beneficial. The most successful companies in the world embrace and encourage change they must know something. They are not being successful remaining status quo.

As far as Coke hey that's a perfect example of change glad you brought it up. You see when Coke introduced the "new " coke they changed in trying it and in introducing it they learned that people preferred the "old" Coke so what did they do. They brought back what everyone thinks is the old coke but in actuality is a reformulation of the "old" coke. In doing that, they raised there sales and revenue higher than it was with the previous "old" coke so therefore in making the change they won.

You see changes are good.

Remember: Change is the only constant thing in the world.
Without change, there is no growth or chance for growth.
Without growth, we die.

For the record Google changed today, do a search and look at the formatting of the results.

But yet you continue to post your words of wisdom and attempt to lecture me with your posts as if I'm an idiot.

You are ASSuming, I don't like or appreciate change. That is not true. I simply stated I didn't care for the changes on web sites I frequent. .

Time for the special key.

My last response was to that one Not your OP.

Im simply participating in the conversation on the thread topic, you may say or feel as you wish. Also nice job you of that capitalizing that ASS in your word Assuming.

Feel free to use the special key, it will make my time more efficient in not having to respond to your responses.
