hi - thanks to all for the warm welcome i am not as concerned as some over the lack of promotion up to now; as long as we are increasing our lead in service and quality available. it doesn't seem to me as likely that the tech for all these new announcements came about simultaneously, but that they are caught in a marketing situation they feel they can not be one uped in. there is a lot of talk today with nothing but hope to back it up. IF we have a discernable lead in service and quality i think we would get market share like a movie. these guys spend millions to advertise the show to pack the house for that premier fri. night. opening night and they got em hanging from the rafters. but the issue here is the size of sunday's crowd. it has no relevance to the huge crowd you paid a load to bring together fri. it is directly related to whether those rafter hangers liked the product. can anyone say godzila? when we finally open the doors i want this thing to work first time and every time. if we are the best, word of mouth will assure our place in the marketplace. after the little fiasco of a couple weeks back, what would happen to our name recognition if we had another so soon? i would love to be leading the pack among the promotion depts. but in our situation i feel it is prudent to take the safe route. pete
