Where is this on their web site? Does it disclose they own another separate
corporation that sells systems?

All I'm saying here is to consider the source. That goes for S&C too, and
all those glowing TS2K reviews.

Now, if you sent them a system, and a few months later their other vendor
corporation starts selling a similar "new" system, would you feel that way?
Their vendor site even brags about how many systems they've seen and what an
advantage that gives them in system development.
I see no disclosures @ http://www.futurestruth.com regarding the fact that
they are competing (UNDER A DIFFERENT CORPORATE NAME) with the developers
that they rate. Maybe I missed it. Where on the site is that disclosure?
Thanks,
