Big companies can keep the pipeline full.
Smaller companies have to wait until they need a minimum-build quantity
Sometimes they guess the timing right and a color never goes out of stock.
In this case, they probably had to pick up the slack left by Astak and are  all the way to the bank, but the shelves went bare earlier than expected.
Jennifer is not being kept in the loop any more thn RobertB was, which has got to suck as the person taking the public heat.

Dear Ducky:
Jennifer is a good and gifted person who needs a job and like most young people tows the line. She NEVER emails me and I find that strange... but maybe she is ordered to not do so.
The problem with Astak is that, like most Chinese companies, responsibility is delegated but authority is never given. Poor Jenifer simply is given what they think she should know. She cannot control hardly anything and her voice must be low.
Astak is NOT a bad company or anything... they have seen finances crumble and have reacted by micro-managing. Their focus is on cutting costs and not on growing sales by getting the word out (my personal opinion only and not at all a condemnation). I am glad NOT to have to worry anymore about their plight. It is tough for them!
Hang in there with Jenifer. Her intentions are definitely good.
Bob
