It might turn out to be a great product IDEA but it takes a solid
organization to make it a truly great *product*.

Not necessarily.

That's true of course but when you are evaluating an untested company
and an untested product, you have to start somewhere.

It would appear that one would start by buying the product. Otherwise
there is no start of anything. As a co-owner of a small company, I resemble
the remark that a small company cannot produce a qualiy product.

I didn't say that.

I said it takes a solid organization. To me that means a company with
the depth and staying power to not only produce a quality product, but
also to market it well and support it well, now and in the future.
Somtimes that takes size, sometimes not. Having an amateurish, error
ridden web site is not a good start.

Well, if you check now you'll find that the web site has been corrected.
Now what do you think? :-)

I suspect that a nice reminder that the website had errors would have
been better than questioning their product based upon a couple
of spelling errors.

I agree on your point below that a good website will help sell a
product. I don;t agree with the rest of your points.

I feel much better now that they have a 2nd chance to make a good
first impression. :-)

I'm more than a little skeptical regarding long term durability of the
stepper motor and the sliding copper strip thingy. It's an
interesting idea however.
