Yeah, I offered that a while ago (check earlier in this thread), but it's either that or they are biting the dust without their intellectual property being bought, which has to be the worst case scenario.

I think there could be another possibility. They could be out of money and in negotiations with a new investor. This could explain much of the silence and so forth. It has only been a month or two (seems long but isn't really) since things seemed going along somewhat nicely. And I seem to recall hearing something somewhere about an investor pulling out. Can't remember where or when though.

That's a good thought. I fully admit a total lack of business knowledge / sense. But, if it were an investor, I can't see the benefit of total silence, that is if the future included maintaining the products etc. If the company were to disappear then silence might be important to a new investor. Like I said, I have no business sense at all.

If it is an investor scenario, the discontent we've been demonstrating on this forum could be damaging the process.

Without information, it seems like we are in a bit of a lose-lose situation.

It was a "third party partner". The context suggested a software partner, but the nature of the partner wasn't actually stated.

If it is damaging the process then it is up to Entourage to fix it by providing information. Any discontent is a direct result of corporate inaction.

That was my impression from the e-conversation with one of the admins on the site.

Sorry my bad.... I just noticed that it would not show for a sec. Then when I was able to get to it everything was listed as out of stock.

And, no, it's not a browser issue. Chrome doesn't show the "Accessories" tab anymore either. My PE shows the site Home page instead (which has been reduced to just 2 slides from 4).

Something serious is clearly going on!

Yes, something's clearly afoot. Why won't they* just tell us what it is? I think we've shown to be a pretty loyal, understanding (even when disappointed) bunch.

* "they" is not any one individual in particular, as I understand individuals may not be at liberty to tell us things. They is the nebulous "they" on which it is easy to blame things.

This is an ominous sign. Keep hope alive!
