Walter, Agreeing with you is a possibility. On item 1, don't know to what you're referring. On item 2, I alluded to your possibly taking the view of someone with an accountant's perspective. # 3 requires no congruence. Walter, I don't work for or at eDig. I've been self-employed for the last 223 years and was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Why Ben and I used to fly kites together on stormy nights even when the British were near. In those days we called a fast download a lightening bolt. The word modem wasn't even a flicker in our thoughts. Never even dreamed back then that in another qtr. of a millenium I'd be assisting in a digital revolution. On the subject of AudioHighway's patents, AHWY: As I read the abstract of that patent, the thrust of what is claimed appears to be the programming of selecting, ordering, receiving confirmation of the order and the order itself via automatic download with playback at user's discretion. These functions will have much more impact and importance to web sites which may need to automate the selection and download of data to customers with and without subscription rights. There will be many ways to do this and if AHWY is to capitalize on their patents, they will not be able to make them cost prohibitive. I see the patent as having no conflict with eDig's mission. SDMI's release only puts manufacturers on a holding pattern. The screening devices for security and their interface with players is what the SDMI has been wrestling with for the last few months. Lucent's forthcoming announcements at the PlugPlay will have much greater bearing on eDig's future with music. By now Lanier has shown more product to their customers. It would be great if new orders have been increased. Best to all:
