Dear John

In Paul Wards message #7421 to you he made statements about FHL that were lies.
We had both a display TC9 and a working prototype of the TC70 at the Atlanta
show. Kevin Pease, an employee of IMS and designer of the MM1 spent quite a bit
of time examining both of them. Kevin even ran his benchmark on one of the
running production Tomcats at the booth where it ran about 50% faster than the
MM1.

This is not the first time Mr Ward has made false statements about us here on
CIS and other places. I don't know why he lies about us but it does show his
colors. Therefore I would suggest you take that into consideration whenever he
makes any claims about us, other companies, or even his own products.

Remember that IMS has only been in business for a few months and so far they
have not delivered anything. On the other hand their hype about their product
and negative comments about us and others has been prolific.

Let the buyer beware, as the saying goes.

There has always been strong competition in the OS9 world. There was even a
time when it was almost this raw. I would prefer to keep things on a higher
level and have been quiet till now. But outright lies have to be addressed, I
wish I did not have to waste my time and yours with this kind of crap. Perhaps,
as a buyer of an MM1 you could suggest to Paul that this is not in his best
interest nor in the best interest of the OS9 community.

Best of luck to you.
