William, I wrote: The folks who think cell phones cause brain cancer will have their fun with that. :) You folowed up with: Well, maybe some of them will Mike. I didn't mean to imply any sort of personal value judgement about that. I apologize if I left enough room that you or anyone else might reasonably make that inference. Instead, I meant it as a joke purely from an investor's point of view. The concern about cell phones continues (and maybe rightfully so) to be an age-old problem for investors who prefer that all obstacles to adoption be removed forever. It's gone on so long that from my point of view strictly as an investor and one who couldn't possibly know who is right about the dangers, it's comical. I think the same will be true for investors in any product that bypasses the use of a monitor and sends a beam of light directly to the user's eye. When I was a kid eggs were the healthiest thing we could eat and you couldn't get too much of them. Now they're a danger. It's impossible for people like me to know who's right and from my point of view, that's comical. No offense intended. --Mike Buckley
