GOOD NEWS Saleem. We're getting worried at our end. A promise last Wednesday of our case shipping to the NVC, three further emails to Angela, and no reply.

I hope to God we aren't lost at this stage.blush.gif Maybe it's my paranoia brought on by the months of suffering....headbonk.gif

I share the same concern- I've been cognizant of what you had been told, and as each day passes, I get a little more alarmed, and ghosts of empty promises of the past begin to resurface.

You've emailed Angela a few times, and from what we've seen thus far she seems to be quite attentive, so I'm sure she must be trying to figure out what's going on with your app. I venture to guess that the reason she hasn't reported back to you yet is perhaps because she's still trying to do a root cause analysis, which can be a real headache.

I'm rooting for you guys, and I suspect you'll receive some sort of update by Friday considering the number of business days that have passed. Just a gut feeling. :)

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I agree with your analysis. It's amazing how cynicism sets in so quickly. I think this group of ours has suffered quite a bit of psychological damage.

I just want to know we're out of Texas - that would be such a relief...tongue_ss.gif
