Many of the topics sounded extremely interesting. So much so that they could help sell Apollo equipment. Apollo must realize that many people, including those who might become customers in the next year, will not be able to make it to this meeting. They should therefore videotape the key sessions and then send copies out to all of their field sales offices. The offices could then lend the tapes to customers. This would help educate customers to Apollo's directions and also serve as a marketing tool by wowing people with all of the great technology plans. The tapes could replace one week of the typical 'why Apollo is so great' tapes that they continually send to their sales offices. Love your customers and they may not love you back, but they will keep buying. Replacing the pitiful 'Edge' magazine with something similar to SUNTechnology would also help ensure a more loyal and better educated customer base. Now let's bet what the odds are that neither of these tasks as I have described them will be pursued. -- Bob Weiner, Motorola, Inc., USENET: ...!gatech!uflorida!novavax!weiner (407) 738-2087
