Unless I wanna pull a rabbit out of a hat and give them a wild-ass
guesstimate of the number of systems I'm going to sell, they're not
going to "donate" the manpower.  That's the short answer.

I've asked a couple, including the "whitebox" division of my largest
supplier, and their first questions always include "how many do you
expect to sell?" or "what size is the market for this?".  They want
ROI projections to come tumbling out, and I've got no way to determine
a number of projected sales.


Sorry for the delay in replying, Ed.  YahooGroups! has borked out YET
AGAIN on my eMail address - it does so at least once a week - and any
messages that get posted to a group while my eMail address is
"bouncing" do not get sent once delivery resumes - apparently, a
bookmark is too much to ask of Yahoo - they've never replied to my
eMails for tech support on this.

All I get as an explanation for this is:

Last Bounced Message
Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 H:DAD Connection refused due to abuse
[MAIL_FROM]

and of course, a Google search for any phrase in the above that I
tried came up empty.

Might as well be talking to a wall.
