In order for the sales force to sell 2.x,
any new and improved features would have to be spelled out in lay-man
terms. That is, the pros and the cons that would answer questions that the
customer would ask.
Like
- "What is in it for me to upgrade
to 2.x or should I stick with 1.9x?" ,
- "Is it faster?",
- "Will it tell me I'm
beautiful?"
- "Will it make me
rich?"
I believe that is what they are looking
for. Sales guys? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What does the
customer get from a larger clock chip and PC 2.x
AE?? Most of the version 2 changes are
internal and will not be obvious to the user. This is by design as we
wish to continue the proven Accu-Vote features. Internally much has
changed so that we can better provide a number of enhancements including:
- the use of industry standard TCP protocols to be compatible with
modern LANs and the Internet (as with the current Central Count version
2),
- a totally redesigned memory card format supporting more data on a
given memory card, more flexibility in the use of counters, improved
throughput with large memory cards, and detection of different memory
card versions,
- and a new ballot identification format better designed to handle
GEMS features.
We'll be running extensive tests internally
on this in July and we'll be refining the user interface then. Look
for more information next month. Any Beta test volunteers out there?
