Terstan, I attempted but could not insert a link to the AOL Board. I will make some inquiries and follow up later. Meanwhile, my e-mail address is: KSully7645@aol.com I'm not certain, but maybe I can pass a link via e-mail. (?) If you do get on the AOL Stock Boards, everything is categorized alphabetically. As of this post, there are 59 posts on the AOL board and something like 50 of them are mine! Mostly links and info gathered from linked sources already on the SI Board. I have been posting information and not opinions there. Given the lack of discussion - well, I'm now on the SI board! But I do recieve a number of E-mails as opposed to posts. To All: Seedman's has been mentioned/opinionated to me as the Auditor. This is a speculative comment and from a uncertain source. Also: I plan to be in Chicago in early September (scheduel might change). While there, I plan to check out TCBG. Pay the office a visit and look for Brainforest on the shelves. Of particular interest is the amount of space allotted, location, and overall presentation. I will post back on my findings (mid-September?). Not intended to hype, I have noticed that in the greater Charlotte Area the Wal-Mart stores are moving stock around and in some stores, have undertaken minor redesigns of the floor layout (gearing up for fall/Christmass Season?). It has been noticed that greater space is being allocated to beverages and that beverages offered are being more centrally located. Has anyone noticed similiar changes in their respective regions? I shop at Winn-Dixie, however, have not noticed any changes of interest there. Infact, there was a in-store commercial announcement touting back to school supplies and how Winn-Dixie has everything you need. However, no mention of Pak-A-Lunch. In closing, has anyone heard of any minor glitches and or production problems with the Volpak machines? I read over the discussion of laser scoring and the problems in shipping the samples some posts back. But with new installation and newly built machines, I'm curious as to initial performance and whether or not there has been any down time. Anyone live in Canada where they can peak in the windows at New Wave Beverage? LOL What about Clearly Canadian? New Wave Beverage handles their packaging and if they have Volpak machines, you know Clearly Canadian is aware of such packaging. Clearly Canadian "clearly" needs to do something besides loose money. Maybe their answer is a less costly package with broader acceptance into the market place? I know. I know. This guy chats too much! KSully
