Howard: Thanks for the background. This has been in Canada for a few years and very little sales resulted because of the reimbursement problem by Canada's National Med plan. As you must know by now, BIOX got FDA approval to market SYNVISC yesterday. That's the reason for the $3 move. News release vague as to potential sales $ and profits. They do have the top marketing firm in the US for these products.As of now, it is all promise. The point on Rheumatologists answers one of my main questions. I know orthopods will be reluctant to give up total knees etc. if they can't get adequate compensation for an alternative treatment.I still have not seen any earnings est.. BIOX will get a $10 or $12 million progress payment because of this approval. So next quarter's earnings will be fat with fees but not sales. Ron
