What determines a manufacturer's success? Is it the best product? Does
everybody need the best product or when is good enough, good enough? How
about the best price? Would you buy an item that isn't really what you
want just because it's cheap? Could it be having your product widely
distributed determines the sale? There's a lot to be said for
availability.

This Issue's Question: Who's New SDU-A Industrial UPS Reduces Production Losses Due to Power Disturbances in Control Processes? Combining Dimming with Other Commands – It’s a Bright Idea Chuck Ross
