Bill you are truly incredible.

<<Turbochef management has schemed to promote the
stock by floating false rumors that Pizza Hut was
interested in Turbochef. The Pizza Hut rumor is
ridiculous. Pizza Hut outlets employ standard
pizza ovens. Turbochef ovens are far more expensive,
much more complicated, and have far less capacity.>>

Ok Bill, here is a challenge. Call the Pizza Hut
in Lewisville, TX. I have done the hard work for
you and called information and got the phone number.
The number is 972-436-2866. Ask them if they
are testing the oven. Talk to a manager. Try
to call during non busy hours so they will
be more willing to talk. Ask them what they think
of it. Report what they say back here. And dont
twist their words around like you did the
instructions on operating the oven.

You can probably afford the phone call since
you started shorting at 18 =).

<<As far as potential sales to other fast food chains are
concerned. Imagine giving your order for two burgers and
fries to some Beavis/Butt-head type behind the counter.
Beavis/Butt-head then cooks your order - but is first
confronted with the following (from the Turbochef
instruction manual at www.turbochef.com):>>

Jim said enough about this and i didnt see any
response to his response. What you pulled out
is very deceiving because like Jim said that
is a pre-programming type deal. When you
call Pizza Hut in Lewisville ask if its hard to
operate. When i called i asked "what is the
best thing about it, and what is the worst".
In the response to the "worst" she said "the
beeping noise it makes". Oh boy if thats
the worst thing it should tell you something.

<<Turbochef possesses no manufacturing facilities.
Instead, it uses subcontractors.>>

The upcoming press release early next week will
address this. Blodgett (sp?) will be manufacturing
the ovens for Maytag. TurboChef will receive
royalties (not confirmed yet)

also

<<So far the company has only managed to *lease* a few
ovens to some obscure restaurants in the UK.>>

They lease and sale Bill. In addition to Whitbread
and TurboChef Inc in the UK, they have also sold
ovens to HFS, 7-11 to name a couple.
