This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago (2nd Week of January 2004)

Seemed like the news on the world stage was not that eventful ten years ago.  Thus a little blurb about my favorite jeans.   Levi Strauss & Co. shuts its last U.S. jeans sewing plant in San Antonio, ending all U.S. manufacturing as it shifts to a contract production model. The closure ends a "Made in the U.S.A." tradition dating back to the 1870s.  Enjoy the threads from ten tears ago!

Greg:The new 2232 and he 2238, are actually improvements to the CL7000 and that engine. The only answer Ricoh has for cycling problem for the 1224 and 1232 is the discontinuation of the product once stock has been depleted (this is the reason there...
