Axiant classes?

[Mark Stewart]

This is why companies advertise.  Media decides what is dead and what is
living.  Microsoft has the billions to go out and advertise.  Their products
always crash and give these foolish messages.  Nobody knows what they are
they are just content by clicking OK and restarting the product.  Every IT
magazine you pick up and filled with Microsoft ads.  You might see one
Cognos ad and it ain't for Axaint I can tell you that.  It's hard to
complete with that company even if you had a product a hundred times better
then theirs.  Microsoft probably spends more in advertising then the entire
annual revenue of Cognos Corperation.  Keep up the cause.
