A corporate update would be nice. Absolutely! I'm not so concerned about whether or not they have officially locked in contracts at this time as I'm quite sure that companies don't spend tens of millions of dollars without doing thorough investigation of the technology, its application, and their own business and deployment plan. And they don't do it without going through at beta-test phase where they kick the tires and do feasibility testing. I hope this new management team is not a reflection of the old. It seems as if shareholder interests is a low priority given the fact MSU has neglected to comment on the stock while rising and now falling back. This is what I've been concerned about also and was encouraged during my last call with management that they do fully understand past failures and are dedicated to taking the company in a different, and successful, direction. And on top of that, the market timing is right as the push is on to get as many folks "online" as possible and generating ecommerce trade. Additionally, MSU remains the low-cost hardware solution provider by developing its set-top box and O/S technology from the ground up and not as a slimmed down computer. This significantly reduces the hardware overhead required (like RAM) which adds excessive cost to competitors products. So, in sum, as I've been stating for most of the summer, I'm not concerned that a contract will eventually come through. I think they it will. And sizable contracts often require to finalize, IMO. So yes, it will be nice to hear from the company in order to update us on what progress they can discuss regarding negotiations. But if they are unable to do so, there are plenty of other things to discuss with regard to the steps there are taking to transform MSU from its past and into a sustainable future. But on an up note, we did close up today .18/share. And that is nice to see rather than the red we have continuously suffered while we dangle around here at support. Regards, Ron
