So here is an example of a vendor selling a very nice portable, easy-to-use graphics package. Everybody out there, raise your hand if you've heard of this product. Raise both hands if you have an idea of the price. I'm guessing that I won't see too many hands. And this is the group that is most interested in Ada. So tell us, John, why this product is virtually unknown here and certainly un-advertised "out there". These discussions always remind me of the TV commercial showing the forlorn toy store owner who never got any customers 'cause he neglected to put an ad in the Yellow Pages. EVB is guaranteed to remain small unless it figures out how to get visibility for its products. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
