Strange -no not really. For most of us , helping out others is a form of reward in itself. Sometime you can help , sometimes you can only give that person another chance as in the case above but it's no surprise that it gives you more of a boost than another worthless call to someone with the runs. Having spent a fair few years selling kit into the ITU and theatres I always wanted a "really good case" to demo the kit (monitors) but I never actually wished it on anyone. I just knew someone would come along anyway.
