I am the #3 person at our company so I will point our founders to the information you've shared. Our server system creates more problems than it solves. We've worked with both tech data and ingram for our distribution needs and seismic came up twice last month during a conversation we had about scrapping or continuing to enhance our own internal server. I don't control the budget here but I do influence some of the decisions so we'll see if I can move the seismic discussion along. Justin thank you for your reply to me.

Even more significant is the acceleration since the market meltdown in September - our growth in the 4th quarter last year set records for us. The economy plays well into the managed service value proposition for resellers to position to end clients - reduced cost, predictable budgets, high quality service delivery. Let me know if we can help you.

More sign ups? Fewer sign ups? Different types of VARs signing up? Have you seen the economy influence the type of partners that are using Seismic? Sorry for all of the questions but we have a server system here and might go to hosted. Justin what trends are you seeing with Seismic right now? More sign ups? Fewer sign ups?

I do think Mr. Crotty is correct to point out that there's no magic time (good economy, bad economy) to launch/build a great company. I just wish the banks would help a bit more with financing.
