No offence was taken and is what I thought you meant but I felt that I
had to clarify the point since I have been known to "kiddd" alot and 
sometimes people on P3D are not sure if I was joking or not. Thats fine
with me, because they have to read my posts extra careful to make sure. ;-)

The reason Wrebbit would do better (know I am not sure of the background
on Loreo and will have to check some back issues of Stereo World or if 
someone can enlighten me on this here on P3D. Could also be in some older
digests) is because Wrebbit is a bigger company with alliances with multi-
national companies that can do a much better job distributing their product.
They have gone from being a garage operation to $75 million in sales in 
5 years, so they are doing something right product, marketing, and 
distributing wise. As for Loreo it would have done better if it was 
available in the stores.

Good point.

>My big question is, does she take stereo pictures???   ;)

No, she approaches this more from a marketing point but has the inside
track of course on what's going on in the company.

Gabriel that likes to joke but prefers to kiddd around. :-)
