    Usage timer function

    Serious help required.

    ...to justify why I was given the contract. Sounds like an "expert" or "buyer's remorse" to me. Gathering the info you requested will help. I hope you don't mind if I offer a bit of sales technique instead. Don't allow this "expert" to fool you. While you can give him some general ideas as to...
