Peter, you need to pry that old wallet open and get yourself a decent
monitor.
After all... what can you expect fom a 19" CRT that has had
convergence problems since 1992. You got your money's worth... quit
milking it!

Brian, you need to read up on Web accessibility standards, the
human eye and color.
I'll get you started...

10 Million American men (7%) suffer from color blindness:

That is why browsers have "accessibility" settings, to compensate for
poor Web design which does not consider these people.

Your new product appears to be aimed at people with poor hearing. As
these may be older people, chances are that their sight will not be
perfect.
Yet you really don't seem to care.



I have yet to see a monitor with convergence problems, and it was not a
common problem on old TVs unless some idiot had been inside it. Old
CRTs are more likely to suffer from low emission.
Low emission can be cured, I have done it many times... with brilliant
results
from a home-built rejuvenator.

We have several systems with a range of browsers, operating systems,
monitors, etc. I have checked the systems I use, and asked others their
thoughts on color. Dark backgrounds can be a real issue, much worse
on some laptops, and one particular hate was red on black background.

At best, with a great CRT monitor, the line below your banner is a
struggle. With some monitors, it is barely visible and certainly
unreadable.
It is a fact that certain types of monitor, as used in modern computers,
do not display colors and contrast as well as others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_monitor
Not everyone has the system you have, the Internet was intended to
allow for different systems and browsers.

It's bad enough that some Webmasters think they can tell visitors what
browser they should use... but you go as far as telling them to go get a
monitor to suit your site design ideas?


I was just telling you about an issue with accessibility and possibly
compatibility. What you do with that information is up to you.

I wish you luck with the new product, you'll sure need luck with the
number of smaller and cheaper products of that type already on the
market... and the way you respond to feedback.


Regards,
Peter.

How's your business going given the current state of the economy? For
some it really sucks. What this county needs is more home grown
businesses like yours to keep people working.

Both the UK and America need more "home grown" products, but
the problem is that the public buy the cheapest. That will always
involve mass produced imports rather than quality.

A small "business", with sales which do not cover minimum wage
for one single person, does NOT "keep people working". It certainly
does not make a dent in the level of imports.

Once again, he appears to have chosen to start "producing" an item
where the market is saturated. Existing products are cheaper and made
by known large companies, who already have well established routes
to market.

Unless Grifter Man gets some desire to make it a real business, then
forget any idea of him fixing the economy. Considering the years
he has been running "Telstar", with the turnover still being so small,
I just don't believe he ever wants more than just a bit of pocket
money. Otherwise he would have done the market research first.

I guess I only asked for name suggestions... but never said what it

You asked people to name a product, without telling them what it was?

See

Are the competitors not well established companies with many years of

When many products fit in the ear and work out cheaper than your

I just don't see how the SoundZone can hope to get a foot in the market.
So what sets this product aside from existing devices, apart from the
trouble
I will have getting a 9v battery in my ear?

Leland, I was fortunate enough to get a large order for my VoiceMax
product from the University of California (San Diego) over the summer
that kept me really busy on the weekends... but business in the past
few months is way down. The economy is really bad as you well know. I
think it'll be getting much worse... before it improves. I'm just
hoping my day job holds out. They have fired 70% of the workforce
where I work right now. Things are looking grim. I hope you and your
family have a nice holiday!

You know one thing that really ****es me off are companies that hire people
on H-1B and L visas then let go their American work force because the visa
holders work cheaper. So I was thinking, while watching the talking heads on
cable news tonight, with all of the money being handed out in bail-outs and
bridge-loans to save American jobs really have Americans working at those
same jobs? And for those that are getting fired or laid off are the
temporary workers, visa holders, the first to go?

Yes, don't get me started on this saving money thing. The reason we
have lost 70% of our workforce is becuase all our electronics (4
million+ units) is now being made in China at the Foxconn facility.
They are finding out that the savings promised by upper management...
and consultants have not come to fruition yet. I feel that they may
never get the promised savings... and they have lost many advantages
of manufacturing in our facility. All I do now is attempt to solve
issues with the chinamen via email all day... lol
