Livingston must not realize that some of us actually foolishly have in
the past believed your press releases and since our customers are asking
when we'll support 56k and you say your shipping the cards we tell them
within the next 2-4 weeks which seemed like a reasonable estimate.

I've seen numerous times on this list how Livingston doesn't like to
announce things prematurely because they want to get things right the
first time. This is just pr/marketing bull s**t.

If the cards aren't shipping and you are true to your word, you should
remove the false statements (from the press release) from your web page
and post a correction. Otherwise your just like all the other companies
out there who stretch the truth.

I definately don't have the respect for livingston that I used to.
