. NN just isn't going to cut it, no matter how successful the company becomes.


I disagree based on the success of a little chip company that made the brilliant decision to brand itself "Intel Inside."

So, if you're looking for public brand recognition, I suggest you try KO or MCD. NN just isn't going to cut it, no matter how successful the company becomes.

Nope - I'm definitely into networking infrastructure - just looking for a little extra innovative NN exposure.

Did you ever see the movie Crazy People with Dudley Moore and Daryl Hanna? It was pretty funny - premise was what would happen if advertisers were truthful about their products.

One of the advertising slogans coined in the movie went something like, "Fly United Airlines, we crash less often."

Maybe we could promote, "Fly NN, we crash and burn your frame relay services less often."

Good post regarding Primetech - hopefully it's a reflection on the quarter.
