participate in product development and there's open two-way communication.

I watched it last night. Jake did a great job illustrating what we all
experienced with the company over the last 8 or so years from the company's
side. I'll probably write up some thoughts on my own site from at a later date,

That was a great presentation.. although I would have preferred Jake mentioned
the 2005 NMRA layout was actually 3500 square feet (75x50) as opposed to 75
square feet.  I know Jake's a busy guy, and he probably sees dozens of numbers
per day, so I'll give Jake a pass on that.  But, the presentation has a lot of
great points that make watching it quite worthwhile.
