As Product Manager for CLSI's Sequent implementation, it's encouraging to
see others talking about our new product introduction!  As Steve points
out, many libraries have already signed up for the system (CLSI has
automated over 1300 libraries world-wide).  Beta sites will begin
installation in November.

Our experiences with the Sequent products, both the B8 and B21, and the
organization have been extremely positive.  

I look forward to Steve's analysis of our progress!
