- This is just one of the many things that erks me about NewTek, they do such

- Its interesting, the other day on a demo tape we had the interview the

- Well when I heard this new CEO announcement, I thought and this is bad...
- "well thats NewTek for ya...." Its like I was considering alternates that

- This is business now and its Tim's he can do what he wants. I must say the
- "magic" of NewTek is gone for me, and that SUCKS! All that remains is
- LightWave which still continues to be NewTek's flagship product in my eyes.
-
- Maybe they can turn it all around, maybe this CEO will give the company a
- new face, maybe Flyer 4.1 or 4.2 will ship and fix the few dozen customers
- problems who incidently all want me dead, maybe Flyer for the PC will ship
- and be a huge success.. only time will tell.. and its sure not waitin...
