Vantage, I am disappointed about the show, HOWEVER, the letter of support from Siemens is worth is weight in golden tomatoes in my book. For me, this is one small step backwards and two big steps forward. I did call MM when I found the message. She said she did not have much time as "Elvis was in the building" (Kevin was there working on the charting). They were disappointed in the cancellation, but the relationship with the the new people coming into the Siemens group was excellent and were excited about the Siemens commitment to the new show schedule. IMHO, for the short term thinker, this will not be the best news. But I have stated from the beginning that I am on this buggy for the long ride. The words, "and expect to further enhance our excellent relationship" are music to my ears. Also, it is nice to know Elvis in the building! Tomato Man

Vantage: I wouldn't fret too much. Individual industry-wide trade shows really don't mean that much by themselves. Please don't misunderstand me - A trade show's worth is very real, but the positive effects are cumulative over the course of many such events. Companies build exposure within their industries. Seldom, outside of public-oriented shows (ie auto shows, CES etc) does one show create an avalanche of momentum. They are time investments designed for the lONG-term advantage of companies. For one, new contacts are made at shows that sometimes have nothing to do with immediate sales but may have much to do with future sales or future alliances. Often, trade shows are as useful to companies like FNTN for buying wares as much as selling them. So if the plan is indeed to be involved together in numerous future shows as Siemens has stated, then Financial Intranet has the proper investment plan in place. Regards, Wally
