[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by simon1966</i> <br /><br />On the conterary, I think that the change in name by Soundtraxx could provide them with even greater exposure. For sure it would get coverage in the MRR press, and possibly even outside of it. If I were in their shoes I would seriously consider donating a portion of the profit from the initial production run to the relief effort. Tsunami, an all enveloping wave of sound, I am sure seemed like a great idea at the time. Since the decoder has not yet hit the market, they have a great opportunity to turn what could be an unplanned marketing nightmare into a win win for all. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This defination came off the Soundtraxx webb site. <br /> <br />"Tsu ·na ·mi (tsoo-nä´-m#275;) n. A huge wave of sound caused by SoundTraxx’s newest and slightly unpronounceable product!" <br /> <br />I feel bad about what happened, but I live in the huricane belt and realize that it's a fact of life. I will not associate the disaster with the decoder when I go to buy one of them. <br /> <br />Soundtraxx is not a big company. When I was out there about two years ago the total number of people employed there was six. I don't think that their work force has gotten much bigger. It's nice when McDonalds wants us to give them money so they can give it to some charity but I don't think that Soundtraxx can afford it. <br /> <br />I'm still going to buy the product (I don't care what they call it) as I'm very pleased with what I've heard from Steve and Nancy (the co-owners). <br /> <br />I was upset when the DSD150's were taken off the market as I still had some steam locos that needed decoders. <br /> <br />I don't mean to sound callous but I'm simply trying to get a point across. Small businesses don't have a wealth of "extra" ca***o change things on a whim. <br /> <br />Have a good day <br />Bob
