Ed -

Regarding the financing of our respective companies, it does cost a lot to
produce and promote a new product. We both know that good business practice
dictates financing such ventures with investment (whether by ourselves or other
investors) and NOT from customer money other than profits from sales. IMS has
NOT used customer deposits to fund our venture, as you suggested.

Now let's get on with producing and promoting our nmachines, shall we?
