Nor have i. Equally i agree with the graceful sentiments expressed by tomic601 and thecarpathian, when and where i spend my hard earned is an ethical decision, and i choose not to support certain regimes, in order to encourage a South Africa- type change of direction.

What is next for Kanta? Is the Sopra line going to add any new colors? How are the sales compared to last few years and what is the trend?
