On count 1 you're absolutely right: XyQuest is not still in
business, TTG is.


Second, for the record, Nota Bene did not jump ship. We
determined that the market share/support cost simply did not
work for us, and rather than kill the product we gave a small
group of devoted NBers the opportunity to market it, retaing
ownership of the products. LIke we did with XyWrite, however, we
 saved the product from extinction, fulfilled NB's broken
promises, and then allowed those who love the product to keep it
going. Trust me, we lost money on that one, but did it because
we felt an obligation to the devoted users of the product. I
don't think a lot of companies would have done that.
