Mark, Thanks for the reply. I believe your IUS numbers for 1997 are extremely optimistic given the only datablade that was production ready (by IFMX's own statements) was the text datablade. Most of the base datablades were not comercially available for purchase until 1998. They were available in early release programs only. Maybe you and I are talking to different people, but I don't see a tremendous amount of IUS business being done. It's the tried and true DSA/ODS/IDS (pick an acronym) engine that is helping to bring IFMX back. However, I do agree with your low end 1998 numbers. I believe IUS has started to prove itself and is a clear differentiator. It might not generate a ton of business but it could end up being the attention getter IFMX needs if it ever gets marketed. Again, I believe the technical advantages will never be known if marketing doesn't get going. IMHO BTW, I love the tagline, "The database with the future built in." It gets attention.
