John,

I believe EDIG gave Wencor the AMTRAK referral due to the logistics involved that EDIG does not have and Wencor has in place. They have four offices in the US -- including just South of Hartsfield in your back yard -- to service their customers: http://www.wencor.com/info/contact.html

EDIG has ole Fred.

EDIG crackerjack sales team (does it take two to be a team?):

AMTRAK: ``Hello, Fred?``

ole Fred: ``Yes``

AMTRAK: ``Can you send over some more of those digEplayers? They are renting very well.``

ole Fred: ``Sure, do you have your Fed funding? You know, the money they take out of our checks so odd people can bounce up and down for four hours on your great track record for success called a train. Hey, you know, RP told me buggy whip sales have also gone down a bit. Got any cash AMTRAK? Do you have any money at all to pay us?``

AMTRAK: ``No``

ole Fred: ``That`s Ok, we did this kind of deal when Jim Collier was here and Atul said I could play in the warehouse after a had my nap. I`ll just send `em on out.``

Oh no, I hope you are wrong, too. And, I hope ole Fred has his sellin` shoes on today.

Maybe a biz update in a few weeks will brighten the future, maybe not. I do want to hear how EDIG is going to beat fiscal `05 numbers this year. It would seem direct sales will be needed. Where`s the beef?
