Yup .. that sounds like New-Tek!!!

Hehehe -- its too bad because when I spoke with the guy at B-Belt , he said
that they DELIBERATELY put enough infor in the announcment that someone on
the ball could reverse-engineer it so that no one would think it was a hoax.

Further he said that it would give THEM (BB) a little kick in the but to
have the competition!

And now a company like New-Tek is gonna try and steal it ...

Jeeez ..
