0410 - Summary/Objective
0411 -
041101 - They have a PC III which is likely a better version of the PC II that
041102 - Advanced Computer intends to show me.
041103 -
041104 - Turns out the PC III does not have a color monitor option.  SDS looks
041105 - very good on the PC III's black and white monitor which has 32 grey
041106 - scale; but the PC weighs at least 17#, according to the spec sheet. It
041107 - feels lighter to me.  Maybe the balance of the machine, makes it seem
041108 - easy to carry.
041109 -
041110 - Seems to be awkward to switch between native and attached color
041111 - monitor.  It does not support simultaneous display when configured
041112 - with a black and white monitor.  This is only available for the gas
041113 - plasma screen.
041114 -
041115 - I wonder if this is true for the Toshiba?
041116 -
041117 - The disk is very slow.  Otherwise it would make a good sales tool to
041118 - demonstrate SDS.  Charles said they can install a faster drive.

050601 - Left brochures and the more detailed explanation of SDS and POIMS, ref
050602 - OF 1 and 2.
050603 -
050604 - Showed Charles a number of SDS features.  We definitely need to show
050605 - SDS with a full compliment of data because that is the value of it.
050606 - It takes too long to load SDS for demos.
050607 -
050608 - Charles feels SDS would be helpful to some of his business customers,
050609 - he mentioned lawyers in particulr.  I did not show him the SDS legal
050610 - briefing mode or document log which are geared to help lawyers.
050611 -
050612 - Charles will let me know, if he needs help with SDS and if he would
050613 - like to pursue a marketing arrangement.
