Ed, So, going back to our critical path charts, we see that a significant task in releasing a new product is the FCC approval task. Now, going back to my basic systems analysis courses, which I had as an undergraduate, we can see that ALL tasks within a critical path analysis may not impact the release date of a product, only the "longest" paths effect the release time. Sorry to say it, but if they would have talked to you, they would have realized that 117 days was possible! Strangely enough, people get tired of promises pretty quick, and they get tired of "pipe dreams" when it comes to purchase even quicker. Mike
