Hi to everyone....I'm a new 'poster' to this thread but i have been reading it daily for about two or three weeks. Yes, I too own shares in TSIG. But something happened moments ago that concerns me: I was getting a live quote for TSIG at freerealtime.com when a banner ad i'd never seen before appears at the top -- Spree.com is selling CD's for $9.98 or less!! They claim to have over 200,000 titles (while not as much as Compact Connections, it is still a lot) and they also sell books, movies, stc. Are we going to be playing second fiddle to all of these mega-sites? Is anyone else as concerned as me that we may be going a little too slowly? I work for an Internet company as a website tester, basically the Quality Assurance inspector of websites. 90% of our sites are commercial (i.e. they sell stuff) and are sometimes more complex than TSIG's Compact Connection site. I have never had to spend more than 2-3 weeks testing a site before it went live. So why is TSIG taking so long, their updates do not look intense or time consuming...their web technology is pretty standard and easy to upgrade. I am looking forward to they day they go live, but I am concerned about the competition become too thick when that day comes. Hey, we've already got a lower bidder in Spree!! Let's go TSIG and make something happen -- We're all counting on you!! P.S. Yes, I have sent many email to CCI making suggestions and pointing out errors, etc. They seem to be responsive to this sort of thing. My guess is they do not have someone in a 'Quality Assurance' role or they wouldn't publish a Beta site and ask for suggestions. Where I work, we do not do this. We do not publish until the site is perfected. This makes me curious about who is designing their site. If you are curious I will privately reveal who I work for, but not publicly.
