Yes indeed, Mark. My company stopped buying Styrofoam cups for coffee. The philosophy is "if we can run without it and it's not directly tied to production then the answer is no."
I can only understand it to a very small point. What's a few hundred bucks for a multi-billion dollar company? Will TP be next? :-) Anyway, thank you for sympathizing. It's gotta get better sooner or later.

RBTI has and I am sure will continue to do the best they can, and I know we all appreciate it. However in the rest of the world budgets are an issue this year, and we all have to live with it. Its tough out there for a lot of businesses. We see it every day in what we do.

Mike, that is a very good excuse that people can use. Are they still paying the insurance for their building, maintenance of their equipment, and most importantly the service contracts for their OTHER product you mentioned in your original message? Why not for R:BASE, if they are still using the product and if the product is a vital part of their business? No need to reply, because I know the answer. Regardless of what they decide, we will continue to do what we do BEST, that is to support those who appreciate what we do and bring'em the R:BASE they have always wanted. "It's the economy." doesn't go with our way of running business. I personally don't believe in that nonsense. Nothing has changed at RBTI -- just look at what we have been doing and what we have delivered, regardless of the excuse of economy. Have you seen any slow down or interruption here at RBTI? Go figure ... Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
