While we knew the response would be incredible, we had no idea how overwhelming it would be. In order to meet the demand we have increased our sales and support staff (and trained them quickly), and we also made a decision to roll out the product in stages, rather than all at once, so we could keep up with not only the initial sales, but also the post-sales support.<br><br>On February 15th we started shipping to our Founders - those who took a chance on us and bought a T-shirt from us over a year before we started shipping iListen. We promised them first access to any new products as part of our thank you for having faith in us, so that's why they get it first.<br><br>From there we have orders we took at Macworld to send out, as well as all those who have already purchased crossgrades directly from us. This means that even as product starts to arrive at our distributors, it will be constrained at first. So I would like to ask all of you to please have patience and cut your local distributors and resellers some slack when they say they don't know when they will be getting copies of MacSpeech Dictate in stock - they really don't!<br><br>If you need more information, take a look at the following press release, or feel free to contact me directly.<br><br><<a href="http://www.macspeech.com/article_info.php?articles_id=290">http://www.macspeech.com/article_info.php?articles_id=290</a>><br><br><br><br>Best Regards,<br><br>Chuck Rogers, Chief Evangelist<br>MacSpeech, Inc.</div></body></html>
