Hey everyone,

Long time no read/post. I got out of the coffee industry some time ago to pursue a PhD. In the intervening years my Dropbox folder with all those coffee manuals and ads I shared went dead. The files, are gone. I might have them on a thumb drive somewhere. People have been asking me for them lately (actually like 3 people...in a month) so what's up with all the Probat interest? Y'all get tired of the fancy machines that break all the time? :D

Just kidding!

If I can find them I'll put a new post together and stuff them in Google drive so our Google overlords can have them forever for you.
This is not, the greatest profile in the world, no, this is just a tribute.

Hmmm ....

I'm not an interested party as I don't have or think I'll ever have a Probat save in photographs.

That said, I would really not trust the Google overlords with anything important.
They will not necessarily have them forever for us, just like Dropbox.

But if it's not an issue for you, I'd opine that they will be much safer at HB with Dan.
If it's not an issue for Dan, obviously.

Cheers,

CIV

Valid point, hence my trouble today.

I'll keep looking once the kiddo takes a nap (please please please). Thanks for the congrats on the PhD. Much more to go but getting there.

They are gone. Though I am sorry that I lost them or deleted them at some point, it's not my practice nor profession anymore. Good luck out there.

In the Immortal Words of the warrior poet Dr. Farnsworth, "Good news, everyone!"

I found a backup of a majority of my Probat related documents.
