Making any predicitions as to when the company expected to start reporting black ink would be virtually impossible. Were he to have said 6 months and a large sale closed Monday he'd look pretty stupid for not "expecting" it. You would have a similar situation trying to count your chickens before they hatched and that could put him back into the dreaded "coming weeks" scenario which I think we've heard the last of. Another thing - you aren't going to hear anything mentioned in a conference call, especially when it's going to be played as a tape delay. Anything the analysts would get would surely be limited to private meetings with the company. I don't think the product was fully out of beta until shortly before we saw Data General hop on board - I know for a fact several imrpovements were made after that original shipment to Trilogy. The first step to a larger purchase is going to be buying the trial unit you have, after that is when any plans for expansion and further implementation would begin. I just figured this out for a post to someone in the clubhouse: An 8-port server bills out around $9,120 and I believe the clients are around $600. As an example, if these sales were at a 3:1 client:port ratio you'd have: $9,120 + (24 x $600) = $23,520 each.
