Kim, to be honest with you it is a complete dice roll. We have gotten 
temps that are completely worthless and gotten a FEW great ones. We did 
one major install and the tech that came with it was, shall we say, not 
familiar with this particular exhibit. We had a temp that basically took 
charge and was giving all the other temps direction to the point that 
people coming by thought the temp was the company supplied tech. On the 
other extreme, we have had temps that basically did nothing, had tools 
walk, etc.
