Graham,

I hope Fabian makes a million dollars with his Fruit and I agree going
professional was somewhat of a calculated risk that apparently is paying off
very well.  Word of mouth perhaps is not as fast as hard copy advertising
promotion but I think the message about Fruit Professional is making the rounds
fast enough!

I'd hate to think of how many programmer's computers are reverse engineering
Fruit now to see what makes it tick.  Many are still in denial about Fruit but
I'm not in the least.  Great times indeed!  DHM
