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
