[TenTec] Update on Dates for "Draft (for review)...."

[Kevin L Anderson]

You guys must not have anything else to do on
a weekend <g>, as I have already received a large
number of corrections and updates for part A 
on Dates of Development in my summary.

To save a bit of time in getting more of the same
dates repeated to me, since the corrected list is
very different in order, below is an updated version
of just the dates for review.  Thanks so far to Winston,
Wade, Larry, and Al, who gave me some critical
corrections.  I also fixed several typos.  Please 
keep the corrections coming to me.  

Thanks.

     [An advertisement in QST for AES, which was selling Ten Tec
      back in 1984, lists the Century 22, Argosy II, and Corsair I,
      with the original Argosy 525 on closeout at $399.95!]

     (My Ten Tec brochure, which must have been printed 
      sometime in late 1990, indicates the above two availability
      dates for the Argonaut II / Delta II, but it may have
      been just wishful thinking and it was early 1991)

Omni VI -- 1992 (1/93)

Paragon II 586 -- sometime before July 1993

Scout 555 -- early 1993 (12/93)

     [I have a brochure I received in late 1993 from Ten Tec
      that pictures the Paragon I, Delta II, and Argonaut II,
      but with separate inserts for the Scout 555 and Omni VI 563.
      The included July 1993 price list gives the Paragon II, 
      Omni VI, Scout 555, and the Argonaut II/Delta II]
 
Argo Scout 556 -- late 1993 or early 1994?
