Paul,

My understanding was that MIS was acquired from the original owner (Bob). As best as I can recall, that came in conversation with Bob when he told me he no longer operates MIS. But that was several years ago. I further understood that it was moved from his "garage" to a much larger location where it exists today with a larger staff and occupies half this location:

To me that looks really big. To others or yourself, it may still be considered to be small...especially in comparison to HP. But, I have always considered MIS to be fortunate to be a large company, like in the way that MediaStreet became a large company. MS I knew more intimately than I do MIS. In any regards, I am intimately familiar with InkjetMall and I could fit it several times over into MIS - hence my remark.

But, it's not a who can be smaller contest, and I don't think you need to feel like you're in the middle of something that does not exist.

And I'm especially regretful that if my saying the "M" word touches off sensitivity issues with you or others on this list. I am truly glad MIS is around. We need choice.
