Re: Wayning Window-eyes
I certainly can understand your frustration, but the day that I call AISquared for technical support or to purchase a new SMA and I either get the recording that the number I have dialed is no longer in service or when the person answering the phone answers "VFO or JAWS" I will not believe that it is actually dead!

RE: Wayning Window-eyes
I wish that the stocks of an adaptive technology company can be publicly traded. I don't have enough pennies to my name, but I'd certainly buy a few just as I do now with penny stocks. Why adaptive technology companies won't offer sale of stocks to the public blows my mind, but what exactly do I know about business? If I could, I'd like to rescue GW Micro and bring it back.

Re: Wayning Window-eyes
I for one will continue to use WE as long as humanly possible regardless of what VFO eventually does.
