1611 - Summary/Objective
1612 -
161201 - Follow up ref SDS 43 0000, ref SDS 39 0000.
161202 -
161203 - Submitted ref DIT 1 to Morris transmitting Dan Palanza's questions on
161204 - Communication Metrics, received on 990718. ref SDS 44 0001
161205 -
161206 - This supplements my letter yesterday, ref DIP 8, submitting Dan's
161207 - Phase I final report. ref SDS 43 9766
161208 -
161209 -     [On 990721 Morris responds. ref SDS 45 0001]
161210 -
161211 - Morris continues to express doubt about usefulness of Communication
161212 - Metrics.  I cited Dan's expression on 990711 as evidence that people
161213 - recognize merit. ref SDS 35 0001  I cited Roy Roebuck's review on
161214 - 990225. ref SDS 14 6956  Morris feels lack of sales establishes that
161215 - Communication Metrics is not useful.  On 990718 recalled Postits took
161216 - 15 years to market successfully.  Its hard to change the value of a
161217 - postit, indicating the value was constant, what changed was the market
161218 - discovered value. ref SDS 43 8740
161219 -
161220 - When we discussed the intial response from Tom and Keith at Intel on
161221 - 990718, ref SDS 43 8966, Morris seemed to question the weight of Dan's
161222 - initial interest, perhaps on the grounds that Dan was a prospective
161223 - interested party.
161224 -
161225 - Dan's letter on 990719 supports Morris' view that Communication
161226 - Metrics does not provide self-evident benefits, but his concern that
161227 - Palanza was supportive of Communication Metrics seems now to have been
161228 - incorrect.
161229 -
161230 - Decided to pull back on this thing.
