<<<Also you can see BW quoted John Oberteuffer one of the countrys(sic)
formost(sic) authoritys(sic) on VR and former consultant for LHSPF for developing their SOFTWARE.Now John is Vice President of Technology for Fonix.>>

BW quoted him. But in the quote he did not mention FONX.
Now, Obertueffer has been sitting on the FONX Board of Directors for a year. They gave him 200,000 stock options. In January, Studdert put him directly on the payroll. Can you cite anywhere in any publication where Obertueffer has spoken highly of FONX technology (or of FONX technology at all)?
And this guy publishes a monthly newsletter on the industry!?!?!

Maybe he wants to keep it a secret while he accumulates as much of this stock with his personal funds. Now let's see......checking the filings.......nope........Obertueffer ain't buying nothing!

<<customers of AcuVoice are very pleased with the Acuvoice/fonix text to speech applications according to AT&T who has a contract with them>>
AcuVoice did less than $2M in revenues last year. Most of that came from a desperate company, bleeding cash, in financial hell......GMGC.
GMGC needed the cheapest solution they could find and they went to AcuVoice.
Since, GMGC took up most of AcuVoice revenues last year that leaves a couple of hundred thousand for AT&T's contract. Would you call that a significant commitment from a company that has expenses of in excess of $40 Billion per year?

Next time you start daydreaming about MSFT, don't let your head slip off your hand and your elbow slip off the table, you might bonk your head again.

PS: Gotta love that organizational chart at AcuVoice......11 total company employees.....5 corporate divisions. LOL.
