It is not a case of not trusting. There are now at least 10 manufacturers of
papers and probably as many ink manufacturers all after our business.

In the past it was probably quite ok to run out and buy new papers and new
inks at a drop of the hat. We were all looking for the holy grail. We were
all paying beta sites for these companies. From a manufacturer stand point
that was great. All these customers doing research and development for them
and paying good money on top of it. Man I like that concept.

As users of these products we have become better educated and now we want to
see some solid facts, on new products, before we jump into the swamp.

I for one want to know if there are any alligators hiding under the water
before I jump.
