Shimadzu's DISMAL Bottom Line (1.46% average annual growth for the past 14 years)... Do you have some $HIT to go along with this anemic growth rate?

The Bottom Line for Shimadzu

....Shimadzu's annualized growth rate is a dismal 1.46%!

The end of this fiscal year (31 March 2006) for Shimadzu Corporation is
an excellent time to sum up the results in lost sales which Shimadzu
has missed out on, in part, due to the persistent presence of this
audacious homepage, namely the Shimadzu Consumer Alerts website. As of
31 March 2005, we had received over 860 unsolicited responses from
prospective customers who had completed our website survey and stated
that they won't be doing business with Shimadzu. These responses
translate into the following lost dollar amounts for Shimadzu :-)

123 GC x $15,000 = $1,845,000
292 HPLC x $30,000 = $8,760,000
81 LC/MS x $100,000 = $8,100,000
170 GC/MS x $50,000 = $8,500,000
56 MALDI x $100,000 = $5,600,000
368 UV/Vis x $10,000 = $3,680,000
129 TOC x $25,000 = $3,225,000
24 AA x $25,000 = $600,000
196 Fluorescence x $10,000 = $1,960,000

The grand total comes to ~ $42,270,000 in lost sales for Shimadzu. You
could say that we're proud of our accomplishments, but our work
continues to remain unfinished.... stay tuned!


n.b. The 42.270 million dollar figure is a very conservative estimate.
The real cost that will never be known is from prospective customers
who have watched from the sidelines as horrified onlookers to an
automobile accident who wouldn't give Shimadzu the time of day at this
point!

n.b. According to the Shimadzu Financial Summary for the year ended
March 31, 2006, Shimadzu net sales (when adjusted for inflation)
continued to lull below those figures reported for the year ended March
31, 1992. 201,439 yen in FY1992 versus 242,638 yen in FY2006 translates
to a mere 20.5% increase in sales. That's 14 years of stagnant growth
and 14 full years of substandard performance. That's also 14 plus years
of inferior products which customers have shunned in droves! Shimadzu
has been growing at an annual rate of a puny 1.46% for the past 14
years and they use advertising words like "productivity, functionality
and sensitivity." Sounds like a cart full of $HIT-madzu.... are you
buying it.... their $HIT that is!

n.b. While most other analytical instrumentation vendors have witnessed
double digit growth year after year, Shimadzu has watched their numbers
decline by single digits thru most of the 1990s to actual losses for
fiscal years 2001 and 2002. They managed to break into the black
ink.... but only barely for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Do you want this
inferior crap in your lab?


Old saying: "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later" (it will just
cost more later)!


Other HPLC companies pump promises.... Shimadzu just sells SH*T!

Mark Kuckuka

fired from Shimadzu
fired from Belfort Instruments and sued for $1M
Went on same NG rampage vs them as against a host of anyone else who
fires him.
Except at Belfort he even harrassed his former girlfriend - she must
have been a major loser too, to have ever hooked up with him.

Loser

Pathetic excuse for humanity

So Mark Kuckafucka how much did it cost you? You must be about ready
to head for skid row now. Hell you'll probably even find a way to
diss the homeles$ right asshole?

You are really a pimple on this earth aren't you.

FOaD Idiot loser spammer.

Oh David Bostwick (aka Samual T.C. Adams this time):

Where do you get your bogus information about Kukukca?

Meanwhile, snip, snip snip and away we go:


And let's not forget that other Doctor "wannabe" named David Bostwick
(aka George Orwell) and this little memorable dialog from days past:

david.bostw...@chemistry.gatech.edu (David Bostwick) posted with
deletions:

> I'll say one thing for you, Vulis, you can hate longer than anyone
> else I know.

Also not true. Dr Vulis hates no one; he just sometimes hates what
they do, and Bostwick's patently, provably asshole behavior is hateful
by any standard of the civilized world.

Dead wrong again. Getting a PhD is a result of very hard work. Those
who don't make it, as David Bostwick, don't make it for a very good
reason: they don't deserve it, and hence are not scholar material.
Nothing Bostwick has ever posted to use net indicates one shred of
scholarship is in his gene (cess) pool. Bostwick is a proven academic
loser, who carries around his hate and jealousy for those who have
worked hard to obtain their degrees by merit. Bostwick's school
affiliation says it all: couldn't get a job in the real world so work
for a school as a lackey, read as, GA TECH, "in loco parentis".

> Oh, BTW, get a new insult. You've thrown these around so much,
> they aren't even shocking any more. And you forgot to spit on me.

............................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm sure Dr Vulis genuinely forgot to spit at you, so allow me to do
it for him: I spit on David Bostwick who is in hell for writing his
rubbish and wasting everyone's time with it.

Wow. You still at it? Give it a rest. How many years have you been doing
this?

Some kinds of mental illness are incurable and only get worse.
Delusional paranoia for one. Multiple personality disorder for
another.

I imagine that at some time in the future, we'll find Mark on a
street-corner in Baltimore, talking to himself about how he should
have been the one to get that Nobel Prize instead of that Japanese
guy if only Shimadzu hadn't so unfairly fired him well over a decade
ago.

With Dec.7th (Pearl Harbor anniversary) approaching, expect the
pathetic loser Mark Kukucka to post more rants, hatred and other
diarrhetic on these websites.

More recently of course after being fired and sued by air traffic
control instrument maker Belfort, he spews his drool on forums related
to their stuff too. Over on those forums the general users have not
been as polite as those here ... publishing his home addresses etc.

At one time his trolling was of some entertainment but the past few
years it is has been so vile, it has only confirmed his mental
sickness.
