Many years ago there was a retired Spartan warrior that was eager for a seat at the Olympic Games in Athens. Although hindered by a limp and well past his prime for battle, he traveled for many days and nights to see youthful athletes engaged in the rigors of sport. Upon arrival at the coliseum, the soldier wandered for several hours looking for an empty seat, past rows and rows of Athenians resting comfortably on their pampered rumps. The Athenians whispered to one another “Someone should surrender their place for that old soldier that has protected us for so many years” but alas, nobody offered their seat. After several hours of searching, the retired combatant came across a section of the stadium reserved for Spartan soldiers. He kindly asked a young soldier to make a bit of room for an old man who had fought his entire life in the Regiment. Recognizing the crest presented to retired warriors on the old man’s lapel, the young soldier rose and bellowed from the stands “A Spartan aged in battle requests a seat!” It is said that the roar of over 1000 Spartan soldiers leaping from their chairs could be heard over 100 miles away. The moral of this story told more than 2400 years ago was "Athenians say what is right, but Spartans do what is right".When selecting a service company, a well known retail brand name can sometimes confuse us into believing that they have the best quality service. After all, large companies have multi-million dollar Marketing Departments and expensive TV commercials that seem to say all the right things. But just because they have the buying power to offer a great price on an iPod doesn’t mean they will wall mount your TV straight and level. Large retail stores are volume driven, not quality driven, and consequently the term “Hang and Bang” was coined for their volume based installation department. On-site service is growing at a staggering rate and even Wal-Mart will be getting into the TV installation business soon. READ MORE.
