For a story with a (bad) ending, that was really engaging to read. It sounds like you're still optimistic, and I'm definitely wishing you a ton of luck. Rejection notwithstanding, I think the advice to get the system installed into a few other businesses is actually golden -- not just from a revenue standpoint, but from the product perspective. You'll get non-family feedback on how the system can be improved. To be fair, building/selling a cool system is a higher goal perhaps than doing YC. (I say this knowing that for a ton of us, the hierarchy is confused in our own minds, haha!). Either way, Jud, plug on, keep tooling and keep writing. I loved reading this...
