I was worn thin by “Developer Speak”, and “Support/Help Desk double talk”. Master Lasker is outstanding when it comes to shedding the light on Miva Merchant and her modules. He walked me through issues and questions in such a way that I was able understand the problem, and the solution without feeling dumb for asking the question. An important skill I have rarely seen in the support world today! He’s the best. "Grasshopper" (Tammy Moore) Kaleidoscope Web Development www.kdw3.com
