>>>The management team is a huge improvement. My problem is with the product. You can have all the management talent in the world and if no one wants to buy what you have to sell you are not going to make much progress. I remain in the "show me" mode regarding Printrite. When they book a 10 million dollar order I'll take another look. Meanwhile there are many other fish in the pond.<<<

Thanks for the positive confirmation!

Yes, but where we differ in our opinions is this. I'm not only encouraged by what I think a strong management team is capable of, and consider the matter of product/ technology quality as a separate issue, as you indicate you do. I'm encouraged that a management team of this caliber, who have a much closer viewpoint than we possibly could, have the confidence in the technology and the odds of success to put their time and energy, expertise and reputations behind Sigma.

That's not to say that there is no chance they could be wrong. Of course you cannot be certain of success. But Rice's business smarts -- in addition to his impressive CV -- come across through his communications. I just don't think that people with his degree of formal and street education take on this sort of work -- particularly in a case where this might be their last big endeavor -- without a pretty high degree of confidence, not only in themselves, but in that which they are signing on to sell.
