These comments of yours need to be reposted for emphasis. I took the liberty of highlighting the key points of each.

<<Happily, this would indicate cutting edge optical sciences, & potential startup/IPO's being 'initiated' well into the coming century. ;-)

The depth & breadth of MRV's positioning as benefactor of such developments in the realm of optical data/imaging is simply astounding.

An "order of magnitude" in conceptualizing MRV's vast product & R&D reach is again required .

Remember when Professor Fischer & Professor Tsui, (the Nobel prize winner) joined MRV's board. At that time some voiced a vote for more 'marketing orientated' individuals. I think not. >>

I think not too. These two prestigious gentlemen, one a Nobel laureate in Physics and one the Dean of Electrical Engineering from the Technion technion.ac.il

Now that we know that MRVC is incubating multiple startups in cutting edge fields, and that Dr. Fischer is going to be involved in a startup venture very soon, can Dr. Tsui be far behind?

And, if you were a graduate student or post-Doc in the optical field, where would you rather work:

A) For one of these men, in some cutting edge venture with exciting prospects, AND participate in and benefit from possible future IPOs,

or

B) working for LU or CSCO as an obscure pawn in some large R&D laboratory, at probably double the salary?

And if you were an MRV employee, and you could see these prospects, and know that some day not too far off their MRV stock is going to go through the roof through their partial ownership of these startups (it will take time, but it just HAS to), why would you quit and work anywhere else?

These have to be exciting times for employees too.
