I hear ya. Good job elaborating what I meant with "...for a while, at least". Yes, the window of opportunity for first to market is definitely nearly shut; there is no longer any room for further missteps, and I agree w/your ~8 month projection. I certainly didn't mean to imply success is certain, that it's ok if the next couple/few years play out like '07 did.
But even so, I don't think NapSolo can go wrong because there's a real possiblity ReelTime could take 2nd place in spite of themselves, in spite of the previous missteps and the belated spending of BIG bucks, just because everything looks/plays so great. 2nd place in this space won't be too shabby, either.
I would also like to believe that BevZ is taking this board seriously, that the posts act as ballast or rudder (didn't someone say turning a battleship around ain't quick or easy?), that a decision from her soon for proper spending of BIG bucks is inevitable.
