I was thinking of a tiny utility used to transfer the Insteon Link
database into Rozetta.

Dave is already helping another manufacturer with this type of thing.

My involvement is that of a beta tester.

And it works.

So in an effort to help you bring Rozetta to market sooner, I thought
you and Dave could at least discuss the matter. He has an complete
understanding of everything Insteon.

It may be something an installer would bring as the solution that it was
designed to be. Profit or not, it sounds like a great product.

Thank you for all your efforts.

Your product will live on, keeping you in our collective memories forever!

Sounds good.

Glad to see you're working with Jeff. Love the XTB!

Then hang in there, Dave...

Keep up the good work.
