Please be aware that anything coming from this Ron Reaugh guy is all
conjecture.  He reads marketing literature, assembles and configures
systems in his head, and then says that they exist and perform well.  He
is actually quite out of touch with reality.  He has never even seen a 
promise controller, much less witnessed what one can do.

If you are considering any configurations based upon information from
him, make sure to validate the information by confirming it from other,
more reliable sources.

Good luck.
