Parx, nice to hear from you.. I hope you were able to trade out of fonix. I still would like to believe that they really had something special. The bonehead play in the acquisition of Articulate is really confusing. Whoever made that decision is either an idiot or very rich. What the hell were they thinking? Management secured a (death spiral finance) loan to buy a company to add to their technology and the bottom line. They get the technology but lose all of the potential revenue because they have no sales outlet to generate any revenue. Then in desperation to carry forward as an ongoing entity they sell the Articulate technology to LHSP and gloat over the the new found resources. How Much did That Cost? The frickin Articulate aquisition destroyed the company!! Just My Opinion

Parx, OK so there really is a great STT product that MSFT is really interested in, but there are road blocks? The garbage posters queered the deal between MSFT and FONX? What are the other factors that may have drown it(the deal) out between MSFT and FONX? What is the "good news" that has been camouflaged? Parx, I ain't against you or Fonix, but hasn't Fonix been a little flakey over the past few years? So many questions and mistakes and so few answers... and No apologies... Parx, how long do you give fonix? Take Care Pal, Randy
