From the GEnie Information Network: Category 19, Topic 2 Message 165 Mon Nov 27, 1989 AVANTGARDE at 15:14 EST It has been a few weeks since we have come online here at GEnie. We apologize for the inconvenience. As most of you know, we have delays in getting pc-ditto II to market. The main reason has been a manufacturer we selected. Because we are small, we had a hard time getting reasonable quotes from companies to produce pc-ditto II. Nevertheless, we did find a company earlier this year who was eager to do the work. Unfortunately, they too were small, and as we later learned, inexperienced in doing the kind of work we required. We had suffered along with them, in part because they had us over a barrel. But, when production units were not acceptable, and they could not be reworked, we had to finally bite the bullet and move on to another manufacturer. Until we could pass along any news, we did not want to return to GEnie with "I don't know" kind of answers. What we can say with certainty is that we have taken delivery of boards that do work (from a new manufacturer) and things are back on track here. We will be up online this weekend to answer all the messages since we were last on (I have just downloaded them, but not yet had time to read them all). Anyway, we are still alive and producing pc-ditto II. We waited to make sure it was right, as we know that's what is expected. Thanks, and we'll talk to you later this week.
