Wow! That's a good deal!

Thanks. We're holding the prices until all the suites are done -- at
least two years away...

OK, then I have some time!


What's the circ at your local paper? I might have to start pitching
their mailroom people! This way I can justify a trip out...

The Press-Citizen has something close to 30,000. There are actually
three "local" papers -- the Press-Citizen (Gannett owned), the Gazette
(out of Cedar Rapids, family-owned), and the Daily Iowan (owned by the
University). Combined they probably have a circ of close to 70,000 --
in a city of 65,000!

This is a newspaper town, for sure. It helps that everyone (and I mean
EVERYONE) has a college degree. (One of my desk clerks speaks 14
languages...)


Wow! That's amazing! Looks like I'll DEFINITELY have to drop by!


What do you pitch to the mailroom folks? I worked in Circulation and
Distribution for 22 years -- maybe I can steer you in the right
direction?

I saw you mention in a previous post that you had a DC or something in a
"previous life"...

If you've heard of a product called NEWSCOM, that's our "bread and
butter"... It's an Inserter control system for SLS's, 72's and 99's.
Besides NEWSCOM, we also do Stacker control upgrades and Inkjet systems
for labelling on bottomwraps and on TMCs. We're also going to be
producing a Bundle Distribution System next year...

Basically, we do software and controls from the Pressroom Wall to the
Loading Bay Window...

I probably shouldn't get too heavy into the pitch in the newsgroup. If
you want more details, or you can help me out at all, EMail me at my name
at miracomcomputer.com... (Hopefully that's obscure enough to avoid the
spam robots! )

Thanks!!
