Give finger, take arm, but main point is hope.

Please know that I very much appreciate that.

And Sweatpea is very correct!
Dear Sweatpea and SaraD:

That is MY point I make. Occasionally you have to show that the wheels are turning still. You do not need to say "Intrique coming out on August 15 at 2:00 p.m. PDT exactly to the minute and here is a list of every conceivable option and nuance and strength.". You DO need to say: "Astak has its first prototype in and we are starting the testing". This tells that we ARE folowing up and it is not "vaporware".

Astak is a good company with great ownership and I like their attention to detail and honesty. BUT... sometimes they seriously devalue getting the word out and the need to get the word out. There are tons of other choices out there and people will go to those choices if they do not hear you have what they need coming out.
