I made my regular rounds of the local stores. It appears we have an 
unrevolting revolution here. My last report indicated 3 receivers had 
been sold. That figure remains the same. It seems consumers are 
refusing to participate. I'm going to send the manufacturer a bill 
for training salespeople about IBUZ. I found another (of many) who 
had no idea what IBUZ is. I noticed he was new to the store and asked 
to see their HD radios. As usual, I was brought to the HDTV 
department. When I repeated HD Radio he brought me to the satellite 
radio displays. I'm afraid the satellite radio displays are much more 
impressive than the IBUZ displays.

Remember, we have 5 years to get all this done. 2 years after the 
proper receivers are designed, manufactured and marketed. 600 million 
in 2 years.
