The following is a sampling of the positive testimonials which have been received during the last 6 weeks. Of course we also received a couple of complaints during the same period. Further support has been demonstrated in the last quarter in a prepaid subscription extending to 1997 up to and including V5.70. Also the two earliest and lowest serial number MIPS of 7 years ago have been continually and continuously updated through V4.70.

From an Engineering Firm in Australia.

"This product is winning us a huge amount of work and the company just committed to establishing a National Center of Excellence in GIS in this office. We are also having 4 persons trained by [a MicroImages Representative]. Much praise for [that Representative's] abilities and support."

From a Geologist in Australia.

"I have been absent in the field for a week, using TNTmips 4.6 very successfully on a laptop to guide our work."

From an International Representative.

"I was a bit worried when I first started this that I would be cutting my own throat by selling the means to do the work, i.e. TNTmips but am starting to see now with [client names] i.e. only two licenses that the potential consulting and training work that will be generated is going to be unlimited."

From an International Representative.

"I upgraded to a Pentium/66 the other day and can really appreciate the difference. This will free up a lot of time and enable me to do a lot more marketing, consulting, and so on."

From an International Representative.

"I spent a half day last week playing around with TNTmips on an SGI workstation and it was very impressive as far as speed goes. They must have had one of the faster RISC processors on board as all the windows processes in TNTmips (e.g. opening 2D-display) seemed to be almost in real time to 4 or 5 seconds which would really boost productivity. The multitasking was also very impressive. I have now seen TNTmips running on an SGI, SunSPARC and a Data General and the SGI seemed to outperform them all. I like the SGI but only because I haven't seen TNTmips run on the other workstations besides the Sun and DG. The SGI seems to have very powerful graphics capability. I should decide on a preferred workstation just in case someone asks."

From a Consultant visiting a 3rd World Site.

"They had little experience with GISs and that little was on systems like Arcinfo which frightened them. They were very impressed by TNTmips even though I didn't have any specific data to play with and had to rely on the data sets you provide with the distribution CD-ROMs."

From a Domestic Reseller.

"When I arrived to start training, the assembled [client] staff (mostly consultants) was in the middle of running the TNTmips Map and Poster Layout process to print a quarter Landsat TM scene (raster size: about 3300 lines and 3300 columns with RGB = TM5 TM7 TM1 with a map grid and scale bars) to their HP 650C color printer. They had started the process at 9 AM and it was still running when I arrived at 1:30 PM (4 hours and 30 minutes). It soon finished (quit without completion). Also, [they] said it was taking 45 minutes to display (Disp2D) the same raster (RGB in full). In addition there were many GPFs. So you can see why I was quite exasperated when I called you that afternoon. I want to thank you and your staff for the prompt help given (by Fed Express and by FAX). The performance improvement was remarkable."

"To make a long story short: by the time I finished implementing your changes to their setup Friday afternoon and again on Saturday, these miserable initial performance indicators had changed drastically as follows: 28 minutes to prepare (17 minutes for a dithered printable raster) and to print (11 minutes for the HP650) the same TM quarter scene with map grid, scale bar, and 3 CAD overlays. Plus, displaying (in full) now took only 32 seconds (if the source was on hard disk). This was on a Pentium (brand unknown having 32 MB of RAM, a gigabyte hard drive, and a Matrox MGA+ graphics board)."
