Thank you Frank, for that vote of confidence.

You know, that ever since I was a tad, I have been fascinated by the progress of technology in all fields, medical, engineering, chemical, anything with a scientific content. I was passing fair in math and physics and got into engineering on that ability, but it was my interest in that leading edge that I was really following. Graduated, in Mechanical engineering, and then joined the Canadian patent office where for 35 years I worked examining patent applications, the leading edge contribution of others. But I felt a part of that process. And now with this PHASIC process, certainly leading edge, but in a field more in line with your abilities and training than my own. But I still feel a part of the pursuit of knowledge, mostly by reading the views of people like yourself and George Gilder, who know far more on these topics than I ever will. But I keep up my own little pursuit, and take great pleasure in it. And should I make a few dollars along the way so much the better. I just like to be close to that leading edge, not forming it, just reporting what I can find occasionally to enlighten myself and others. Like that SilkRoad stuff which I find fascinating but don't really understand, nor do others I have asked.

So I ask my little questions hoping for a reply to enlighten us all. Following that leading edge as always!

Cheers,

Don
