Ain`t that the truth - I remember when our CEO was beaming a few years ago on how he and top Chinese officials hammered out an agreement for tons of our equipment to be bought. Would have thought he found the cure for cancer.

Well since then, revenue from the Asia/Pacific region has been ``disappointing`` to say the least (duh!), and we have major competition on our product from a Chineese company, the same one doing cut and pastes from our operating system, to build their own.

If Pohl and Co. are smart, they would drop the pretense about China and let the issue die.

The only ones they fool are themselves.
