Sure, but after throwing dust in the air, unless you can get to Bill Gates or the other decision makers you're spinning your wheels. I could perhaps affect your company's marketing as I can 'reach' you. MSFT is a little tougher. <g>

That leaves personal effort and IM(so-called smug <g>)O <g> this is where we can do the best.

I'd disagree. I do not compete to lose. I compete to win. That is all that counts IMO here. "Winning" here I'd define as getting MSFT to market (not advertise) the product. Let's see what happens.

If the Good Lord wills, we will. I'm content to do my job today and let tomorrow take care of itself. Nonetheless, I appreciate your confidence and encouragement. Thanks!
