Subject: Re: [motm] Should I exhibit at NAMM?

Paul,
My 2 clams:
Seems like the benefit/cost ratio is rather low. It's one of these "If I
don't go and miss out on..." predicaments that we all face with incomplete
information.

George had a point about now that there is some momentum, that you may
have a larger benefit by going to this next NAMM. However, from my little
window
(a) yes, it is always nice to have a hands on experience with a
product before buying, but given that you have (what I think is) a large
web/listserv visualization and that many of us (ordinary customers), those
that are interested in a quality modulars, never make it to NAMM, a
significant (financially) increase in the number of buyers via NAMM seems
tenuous, and

(b) would you make more, financially, by having a few more
buyers (and a little more exposure) at NAMM versus putting out a few more
very nice (and hopefully sought after) modules, like the SEM?

Of course, you have to consider, Paul, that I am biased: I'm into growing
my motm+ modular, I don't care about NAMM, and I don't want to see you end
up in the loony bin :-).

Just my 2 clams (now I'll clam up), Jeff
