I have been sending you mail weekly for two months now offering the
use of the M/120 in the Burlington sales office for Ingres benchmarking;
obviously, something hasn't been getting through, and I'd rather not have
the company impugned, however well-intentioned, for Email's failures, so
I'm replying here via news.  Call Steve Stephenson at (617) 270-0613 to
arrange a time; the machine is ready to go, and has been, with Ingres and
sufficient memory, for about eight weeks now.
