  To follow-up on what Ken stated in .3

Sales Horizon is a notebook PC productivity platform for sales 
people. V1.0 is currently installed in a limited number of sales 
notebook PC's, however, V1.1 will be available to the entire U.S. 
sales force in the mid-June timeframe (free of charge by ordering 
through VTX QPC).  

Sales Horizon was designed by sales people for the way they work. 
It provides a simple and effective way to access corporate 
information in a mobile computing environment.  It also provides 
productivity tools to support proposal authoring, presentation 
delivery and development, and enhancements to popular third party 
products such as ACT! and KEAterm. 

When known I'll post the exact date of when Sales Horizon will be 
orderable through VTX QPC.

3134.4Selling Horizon to Customers?ANGLIN::BJAMESMon Jun 06 1994 22:1915
    Malcolm-
    
    I suggest that you do a readers choice mailing to the sales force on
    when Horizon is available, that way everyone will see the message and
    will be able to digest it.  Not everyone surfs notes on a regular basis
    so if you post it here it's a hit/miss on who will see it.
    
    Also, are there any plans for us to offer Horizon to customers?  I have
    one who has seen it (via a demo from one of our account managers here
    in Minneapolis) and they are very interested in seeing if they might be
    able to Horizon for their own internal sales force in their company.  I
    need a contact as to who could discuss this with me.  Please send mail
    my way if you have the name of who can discuss this option with me.
    
    Thanks
