I think by "Yes" Mike meant "we" Intermetrics are willing to invest to
help Ada succeed, and "you" potential customers should keep an eye us
to see if we fulfill this promise (I'm sure you will ;-).
Please don't flame us if you think we should have already invested
(we already have), or we should have invested more wisely or
visibly. I was just trying to clarify who Mike meant by "we."
