Guy:
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.
Ian

> 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?
