Mark,
I forgot about that part. It was really dumb (or nasty) of Fred if he did actually
know. He started advertising months before he even had a product to sell. I don't
think it would hurt either party if one changed the name. I know Jerry came up with
the use of the name first, but Zagi is such a unique name I would like to see Joe or
Jerry call theirs the Zagi Super-R or something. I actually keep forgetting about it
and passed it over when I saw it wasn't a Zagi. None of the guys out here talk about
the Razor, just about the Zagi. Razor is too generic.
