Roy, I hope you can understand that sometimes things don't go exactly as one
would like. The 2000-and-1 delivery schedule is one of those things. We've
tried very hard to bring the product out when we thought we were able but alas
things such as moving the entire company 900 miles and a whole bunch of other
things has interfered. None of the reasons for delay have been technical. The
technical aspects of the product are in fact completely in hand. But there's so
much more to bringing a product to market than having the good product.
I must say that CBM constantly extending the 2000 upgrade isn't helping us
either. Daily, our market and product plans change in the face of changes made
by others not under our controll.
Anyway, this my public apology to all those awaiting the 2000-and-1. We will
bring this puppy to market. But it won't be before Christmas, and in view of
our previous erroneous ETA's I am going to stop predicting when it will come
out. When it does it will be completely within the quality and reliability
range ASDG is known for.
Yours,
Perry
