[WTS] Victorinox Swiss Army Knives

alqa — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:35:10 +0800

Victorinox is a knife manufacturer headquartered in the town of Ibach, in the Canton of Schwyz, Switzerland, founded in 1884. Since 1891 the company has delivered knives to the Swiss army. Their famous emblem — a cross in a shield — has been used by Victorinox since 1909.

The Swiss Army knife is the product that has been the centerpiece of Victorinox's business. Originally the sole supplier, since 1908 it has shared the contract with Wenger. A compromise between the two companies gave Victorinox the right to advertise as the Original Swiss Army Knife, while Wenger lays claim to the title of Genuine Swiss Army Knife. Although both brands remain intact, Victorinox has since purchased and taken over Wenger in 2005.

Swiss Army knives are widely used outside the army. They are useful multifunctional instruments for everyday life and are available in a wide variety of sizes and functional combinations. Even NASA astronauts have a Victorinox knife as standard equipment. Victorinox knives have also been taken to Mt. Everest and the Arctic. The flagship model of Victorinox, the SwissChamp, is in the New York Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Design Collection. There is also an active Swiss Army Knife modding community, producing new models from cannibalised parts.

Pictorial: Dell XPS M1210 LCD Exchange

alqa — Mon, 28 May 2007 20:06:11 +0800

Due to demand brought about by increasing business assignments, I decided to buy a laptop. and after much deliberation finally decided on Dell's latest offering and bought this Dell XPS M1210 around mid April 2007. Was purty pleased with its performance.

this is the lappie, still pristine:

Then about middle of this month, it had an unfortunate encounter with my 2 year old sack of joy:

and my daughter emerged victorious.... as for the lappie: its LCD was shattered into pieces!

after getting advises from LYN's Dell XPS M1210 Support Thread I called the XPS 24x7 hotline and they promised to send over a technician to have the LCD replaced. and until then had to use it this way:

B2B - Shipping Method for Overseas Purchase

alqa — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 16:16:17 +0800

Guys, I've just started an online store under a dropship program selling arts, crafts and scrapbook materials, tools and accessories. the thing is almost all of the materials are taken from a wholesaler in the USA. everytime I receive an order, I'll forward the order to them and they'll prepare the package for delivery straight to the customer, so they'll invoice me on the products + shipping.

however, the shipping method used, USPS Express Mail, which cost me a bomb... Of course its reliable, trackable and insured, but its eating up my profit. despite the high margin from the dealer's discounted pricing, my bottomline is drastically reduced by high shipping cost and import & sales tax.

So I need to find ways to cut down my cost to make it worthwhile. is there any service or company that i can engage from Malaysia that can offer service to pickup the stuff directly from the supplier and bring it over?

How to Become HP Reseller?

alqa — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 12:09:28 +0800

I'm preparing a business proposal for a graphic & printing shop.

the financial institution from which they are applying for loan proposed that they also stock and sell related products to increase walk ins and cross sell. Since the company already used lotsa HP workstations and wide format printing solutions (thanks to prior leasing agreement) they feel its only right for them to stock on its cartridges and resell the rest of its products.

wanna know if there's any master distributor for HP PCs, laptops, printers, inks and toners.

thanks.

Snooker Shop POS

alqa — Thu, 01 Jun 2006 16:52:33 +0800

Guys, need guidance and pointers. can somebody suggest a solution, or point me to someone who have a solution for the following:

a snooker shop needs a sales monitoring system that combines the point of sales at the counter which links and controls the lights at each of snooker table.

everytime a customer rent a table, the moment the lights is on, the counter starts and at the end of when the customers concluded the match, the lights is switch off and the POS will calculate the rental chargeable for that session and print out a sales receipt. this is recorded in the PC cum POS system and can be mined for audit an accounting purposes.

two reasons for the requirement:
1. the owner wants to control the cash inflow and as precautionary measure against any possible temptation by his employees.

2. efficient and user friendly way to control the business with minimal manpower requirement and least training.

the solution has to be cheap and easy to implement.

thanks for any assistance.
