I'll start the ball rolling here... (Pls let me know if there's already a duplicate thread, admins)
I just got my AAA less than a week ago, and yesterday proved that the $25 I paid for it was worth every cent!!
We were doing a presentation at a major client's, hoping to get in on a big project. The room lights were controlled by just 1 switch, so if u turn the switch off, all the lights in the room go off... So, while our Retail Manager was about to start his demo, he remarked that it was too dark and he couldn't see the keyboard at all. So I stood up, pulled out my AAA and rested it on a huge manual next to the notebook and had it shining over the keyboard. I could see from the corner of my eye some of the clients craning their necks to try and get a look at the light source...
So, the presentation and demo went on for almost 2 hours, including Q&A sessions, and I purposely left my AAA on, sitting there even when the lights were switched on every once in a while during discussions, and it was used a few times for reading some stats off some documents.
Needless to say, after the whole session was over, the brightness was still the same, after almost 2 hours and you could imagine the amount of interest it generated. A couple of guys came over and asked what light I was using, and they were impressed that brightness hasn't dropped 1 notch when I showed them! But the fact that it was not readily available in the shops here sorta disappointed them... Our Retail Manager (from a partner company) expressed his thanks and was amazed and remarked to my boss about "how prepared we were for any situation"...
Next up, my boss asks me in the car, was that a M*glite? I scoffed and said "Not even close"... showed him my AAA again and his next question was: "Where do I get one?" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Well, I might just be able to convince my boss to order a couple of other Arcs and I can jump in on the order, then hopefully he'll (the company) offer to pay for the shipping? Hmm... Well, I don't think that the AAA was enough to convince the client that they'll buy from us...yet, but the fact is that it saved the day, else we would have had to turn on the lights and the clients wouldn't be able to see the demo properly!
ANyway, you've probably heard this a million times, so once more isn't gonna make a difference, Thanks Peter for a great product!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
