[OM] Future ES-10 support (WAS Randomness prevails)

Here's an interesting event that I remembered while reading Ken's post 
below.

I wrote Olympus America about three weeks ago via their customer support 
page on their website regarding their lack of support re the ES-10 scanner. 
 No software or drivers on the American web site, the fact that I had 
verified that the drivers would not work under Win 2K and had heard nothing 
from them re releasing 2K drivers, etc.

No response.

A bit frightening.  Any ideas on how to get a response or who I need to 
talk to?
