It's a shameful comment on today's business management methods...

Pure research seldom if ever produces a quick payback!

The reality is that it usually creates the largest payback.

Very few major advancements in history came as the result of "Rapid Payback"
projects.

P.S. (Elaine, pure research ain't nothing...)

Juha,
Many folks who now purchase and use RP& M systems would not have as many
applications and possibilities were it not for the many folks who purchased
early systems and did lots of parts for seemingly nothing. The nothing has
proven to be progress in abundant areas. Thanks for doing lots of nothings.

Nothings do count!

Elaine
