I like that approach, maybe Les will be more amiciable (sociable/agreeable [insert your favorite synonym]) if the questions are given to him in advance before a phone call (conference call a good idea too) and informing him in advance before visiting in person (although an un-announced visit is better in that they are not expecting you and gives you a feel for what a 'normal' day is).

I'm content to wait thru June 1998 and a month or two after that (did they specify when in June??) for the completion of the bulletin boards. At that point we should be able to see them. I'm assuming that ADOT doesn't get fully paid until the billboards are completed/delivered/installed/operational.

Everybody wants to see the billboard including myself. Something that would be nice would be a picture of the billboard and put it up on their web-site, even if it's partially completed and/or working. Either that or a picture of something else working on a much smaller scale that uses the same technology. I'm almost sure that they would have a prototype around (unless they are using it show to prospective customers, in which case get the Salesperson to take a picture of it).

I guess my single and only question is, can you show us a display of any size that uses your technology. Follow up questions would be: How long did it take you to make it then? How long would it take you to make it now? Is scaling it up to the size of a billboard the equivalent of building several of these small flat-panel displays and placing them side by side, row by row? What are the major advantages of your technology over the competition??

Does ADOT focus only on the hardware end and provide only bare-bones functionality in terms of controlling what is displayed (ie. set pixel in row #80, column #90 to color value xxx, set pixel in row #80, column #91 to yyy, etc..). Does ADOT simply have to write a driver for some VERY VERY expensive software that controls billboards, like in the good ol days of MS-DOS applications and printing (somebody either printer vendor or software vendor wrote a driver that would let the software send the data to the printer in a form it understood)?? Or does all software development get outsourced so that ADOT can focus on what it does best?

A lot of these questions are technical in nature. I'm interested in the software aspect, not only because I am a developer, but it seems that the displays are next to useless without software (unless you go to the control panel and manually type in the color values.)
