Hi Jonathan....

We agree that you can find the S manufacturers with some effort.  But what 
about the vice versa?  The problem, however, is that the S manufacturers cannot 
find you.  Or, more broadly, they cannot find all of us easily and cheaply.  

I am not sure that most of us want to frequently visit a bunch of web sites to 
see if anything new is being announced.  I am sure there are some (like you?), 
but I am not sure that is typical behavior for most of us.  

I think John Foley had some software that would automatically send him an email 
whenever a specified web site had a change or update.  This might be helpful 
for some folks, perhaps.  But I still think our fragmentation is a difficult 
thing for the typical seller of S products.  Just an opinion, of course, and I 
could be wrong.  

Glad you liked the TRACKS AHEAD segment.  Believe it or not, it took three 
people all day long just to record enough stuff to make a 15-minute broadcast 
show.  Lots of scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.  I tried to get them, 
but they wouldn't give them to me even though they had no use for them.  

Strange world out there.....Ed L.
