Exactly my feelings Jeff! I have now lost faith in TT. To continually miss
release dates is one thing. To not even keep their customer base informed
is absolutely inexcusable, IMHO. They have constantly pushed back dates.
And, then they stated the firmware was in beta testing. Over two months of
beta testing and no word from them? The only time they appear on the "list"
is when they send the monthly Used\Demo Sale List. I was a firm TT
supporter, but something seems amiss there.
I have emailed the Marketing Mgr. and the President requesting an update on
the firmware revisions. Both were polite inquiries, and both were totally
ignored. The diehard TT fans can rationalize this in any manner they wish.
But, it is just plain wrong.

Slip? Sure.. but their stated date has now passed without further
update. I'm certain that 99.9% of TenTec users would be willing to sit
on their hands while products needed for our military are produced.
However, that's your statement, not theirs. It would be nice to know why
both the release date for the OII and Omvi VII have slipped. Is TenTec
in financial turmoil? Are they unable to find a developer up to the
task? Just what is the situation? Some transparency would be welcomed.
Answers not based on on speculation, loyalty, or disgust are welcome..
but just the facts, please.

Lee, if you're serious, check their update page. They have been revising
it
nd still call for it to be RELEASED in the Fall of 2008 (which ends
omorrow).
