Let's not forget the 2007 radios! (No cell phones near the radio towers.)

If I am interpreting this email blast correctly it leads me to believe that the RC, OI, Victor, Spike, Arena Controller, and field control software will be all be gone.

I don't care who designed it, or who makes it, NO ONE makes anything perfect the first time, or for that matter everytime.

Lets disprove a new saying overherd at the VIP reception in Atlanta:
"FIRST - Technolgy building egos"

The process just started, give them a chance!
