Brian… I think the best way to sell a system is to solve a problem, fill a need, etc. Newtek does this very well, I think. It's something that a lot of other companies could learn from. Turnkey type solutions, such as the toaster is designed to be, offer a great deal more value than 'potential solutions' of hardware and software from parties a,b,c,d and e. Don't like the 'computer in disguise' ads, hmmm? If nothing else, there is an interesting about-face in Commodore's marketing department about CDTV. It was initially intended to be the 'power of a computer without a keyboard or the technobabble of computers'. Now it's the 'computer in disguise'. There's a ton of potential in CDTV, I'm crossing my fingers constantly for it. Jim
