Default RE: LETS SAVE SIG BEFORE THEY GET SWALLOWED BY THE BIG TWO!!!

For the time being, they're not going anywhere. They're under new management, and these guys are already making a lot of big changes in suppliers and other problem areas the business formerly faced. They've had to transition from a Mom-and-Pop business that grew and then faced a whole new, changed market, into a business that competes against a cut-throat world market. There was no way it could happen easily or overnight, and some hard choices and big changes had to be made. Up until now, those choices and changes were not being made aggressively enough. These guys are already on it, and they've identified the popular models and biggest sellers, and those are being given priority.

I was on the phone with them yesterday, and from the discussion we had, it sounds like they have a solid business plan. I don't know what their backing is, or who will be doing their advertising, but they're making the necessary changes at home first, and that's a good start. It's a tough world out there right now, so I wish them the best.

It would be nice if somebody from the New Sig would drop in here and give us some first-hand news.
