Dear Mr. Stowell,

      We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review to matters related to the issues raised
in
our comments.  Where indicated, we think you should revise your
future filings in response to these comments.  If you disagree, we
will consider your explanation as to why our comment is
inapplicable
or a revision is unnecessary.  Please be as detailed as necessary
in
your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to
provide
us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we may raise additional
comments.

	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.


Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005

Note 1  - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page S-19

1. We note that in certain situations you recognize product
revenue
before installation has been completed.  Please tell us and revise
future filings to disclose the specific terms and conditions of
those
agreements in which you recognize product revenue prior to
installation and tell us why revenue recognition upon shipment is
appropriate.

Note 8 - Shareholders` Equity, page S-28

2. We note that you changed the distribution method of your
deferred
compensation plan in April 2004 to allow terminated participants
to
receive cash distributions rather than share distributions;
therefore
the plan is now subject to variable accounting. Please confirm
that
the change was accounted for from the date of the modification, or
April 2004. If so, tell us what effect the modification had on
fiscal
year 2004 and your previously reported Form 10-Q`s.

`````
        As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10
business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
Please furnish a cover letter that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested information.  Detailed cover
letters greatly facilitate our review.  Please understand that we
may
have additional comments after reviewing your responses to our
comments.

	 We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the
filing includes all information required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information
investors require for an informed decision.  Since the company and
its management are in possession of all facts relating to a
company`s
disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
the
disclosures they have made.

	In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with
respect to the filing; and

* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

      In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in
