I remember back in the early 70's, before IBM and before Microsoft. I worked with an engineer at a small company in New Hampshire and we built a desk top computer. It was one of the first of it's kind. It took us a year to get it ready to start manufacturing. Meanwhile IBM came out with it's own and we had nothing to sell. It is called "missing the window". Had the same thing happen when I worked for a typesetting manufacturer in Mass. They had so many problems when all the units were put together it took a year to work out the bugs of it's new product. It was a laser printer. It missed the window as HP came on the seen with its printer. So I guess you can say, been there, done that.

I hope that present management will take a step back and realize that unless they take that "leap of faith" into the future they we will never get what we are expecting out of this stock. The large tobacco companies have had there chance to look at this closely and so far have not jumped on it. Maybe it needs to be marketted a little differently.
