aggressive but we really do have a top notch team working on thst and
Yep, Venturecom came out with Windows RTX running on Windows NT a long

and sold now 2 or 3 times.

I have a feeling that this guy is not as stupid as I originally
thought. I realized that he tries to find equipment, that,
essenstially, no one else has (like those giant CMMs), and do jobs
that could not likely be replicated overseas due to shipping issues.

Ah, well, that's the internet for you! He ought to get in touch with

I did that ( Stuart) about an hour ago.
BTW - He is not in the high rent district. Looks like mixed industrial

I drive 203 fairly often, will have to take a look next time I go by.
I hope he is not on the flood plain.
