First things first: let me apologize to the fine folks at Keyport for my delay in writing this review. I received a set of Keyport’s Anywhere Tools all the way back in February. I put them on my keys, hoping to get some real-world use out of them before writing my review.
Do you have so many keys you can’t keep track of them all? Can your family hear you approaching from down the street by the jingle of your keyring?

I heard from a few “doubters” including our own Wayne Schulz who half jokingly, I think, wondered if I’d really ever see my keys again and if I did get them back what condition would they be in. Just yesterday, only three days after I spoke to the Key-Port representative I…
Promises, promises, promises. At one time in my life I worked for a small, start up company. For the entire first year the company existed all we did was market. We had no product to sell, only a few working prototypes. We traveled the world displaying these prototypes at trade shows to very interested customers. We had the prettiest booth and the best brochures but nothing to sell. We even promised release dates. But these quickly came and went and eventually our potential customers became upset.
