I have not given up on FTEL but, I have quit worring the company, they have a job to do and inudating them with our sometimes trivial pursuit of information or clues about the next "release" only serves one purpose and that is to waist their time. I'm sure Frank, Helen and others have more to do than I could imagine so I don't bother them. I'm comfortable where we are and the support we had today is a solem reminder of where we have been and where we could easily go. bg

I should have posted this sooner but I did speak with Helen yesterday and she said there wasn't any substantive news at this point but that she THOUGHT that there would be one or more news releases within the next two weeks. She said that some well known companies are still evaluating the systems and are asking lots of questions about the equipment. There is plenty of frustration all around with the lack of sales but having been involved with marketing AutoCAD in the mid 80's, I can tell you that even when all of the signals say buy the system, even when a company knows it will save money, it will still just drag the feet -- for no good reason. Joe, the decision maker, takes less risk with the status quo and making no decision than with opting to buy new expensive technology that might have a hidden downside. He'll buy eventually but he needs to mull and acclimate to a new way of doing business in his own good time. Once a few buys take place and companies have someone else to call, it'll be whole different ball game. The first sales are absolutely the toughest to make. If Franklin can sell 3-5 systems to known companies and keep them happy, they will sell the next 30 companies with the same level of effort. Regards, Jim
