Ken--
I will take your message as a point of departure to attempt to explain the revenue "problem" with COPY. If you have ever been in a multi marketing program, you realize the Distributor has to buy some product-- then sell it downline. Take Soap, for example, I recall a program years ago that filled a lot of garages with about $3000 worth of soap. But no profit ensued until the soap left the garage in exchange for cash-- then there was REVENUE (but a lot of soap went unsold!). It would appear that what we have here is a lot of governments with a lot of "soap" on order or perhaps some in the garage. But until that "soap" moves, COPY's revenues will remain anemic. However, since the company is in fact manufacturing a product (new and different than the last 10-15 years), there is a potential to realize some product moving into the hands of real,live users. And, I understand this is simply an interim product-- the Flat Panel Display, in living color, thin, brilliant, cheap is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow :) Everyone wants it so it should be a winner-- whenever. If you are young enough, you should see it one day and reap some healthy rewards for infinite patience.

Keep the faith!
Ciao'
