It wouldn't surprise me if Lyson COULDN'T pay for Wilhelm.  During  
the time that their Cave Paints were killing my 7600, I had so many  
converations with them that I was on first name basis with them.   
(And I have to give them credit for really doing everything they  
could.  I can't fault their efforts to try to help.)  But the  
impression I got was that they were basically two guys in a suite in  
an industrial park.  This was the US office.  At any given time one  
or both of them were out of the office, and there was no one else to  
talk to.  Maybe their UK headquarters is a bigger concern, but it is  
hard for me to picture Lyson, at least from my US experience, as  
being a big enough player to afford Wilhelm testing all their  
products. Actually, that's all Oriental was, too.  I once drove up  
from San Diego to Irvine to pick up their VC printing head from  
Oriental, and it was just that- a couple of guys in an industrial  
park, one of whom was Al Belson, now also passed on.  And it wasn't  
too many years after that that Oriental was gone.
