Shelf space at Fry's (or COMPUSA, etc.) might be an issue - but it might be resolvable fairly easily with a few phone calls if the "right" product is available, or at least planned. The notion I had in mind would involve more than a version of GNAT - there would need to be a bunch of other things in the kit, some of which might not be so readily available. Thats why I think it would take a coordinated effort of a few vendors to put together a comprehensive package and a marketing strategy. What I might be able to bring to the table at this juncture is TBD. > > (*) someone -- that elusive person to whom many tasks are > assigned, but who seldom follows through, and in fact is > rather hard to track down :-) :-) I'm very familiar with "someone" and frequently get frustrated with his inability to keep to my schedule. ;-) Perhaps if I were to get him that very expensive and rare device known as A Round Tuit he might be able to make faster progress :-) MDC > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Before you buy. -- ============================================================= Marin David Condic - Quadrus Corporation - 1.800.555.3393 1015-116 Atlantic Boulevard, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 http://www.quadruscorp.com/ m c o n d i c @ q u a d r u s c o r p . c o m Visit my web site at: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Capitalism without failure is like religion without sin." -- Allan Meltzer, Economist =============================================================
