Ottawa Canada Main stream companies make mistakes too.
Years ago, General Mills introduced a cereal called Buttercups and the commercial showed kids picking Buttercups in a meadow and eating them. The next day the president of General Mills received a telephone call from a very concerned person who said that Buttercups are deadly poison to man and beast and cattle won't touch them. The president of General Mills looked into this on a priority basis, found the caller was correct and immediately went on TV to tell parents to return the Buttercups cereal they had bought for a full refund and recalled each and every box of the stuff his firm had made! Our telegraph company in Canada, CNCP Telecommunications at the time, now A. T. and T. Canada, years ago developed and introduced a brand new service called Laser FAX. But I'd say they were about five years too late, as most people who wanted to send FAX had their own machine. Seems the marketplace agreed with me and the brand new service that cost them a mint to implement and advertise went over like a lead balloon! I mentioned this and a few other mistakes the firm had made to one of their product managers and he said as he cringed at the thoughts I was reminding him of I had much too long a memory. Nobody's perfect! But Humanware is trying. Brian Brian K.
