You didn't answer my question. What do you see as a reasonable time frame for commercialization of SPD products and real revenues...considering that REFR now claims to have the entire "supply chain" in place? How many more years should an investor wait for revenues (much less earnings)...1, 5, 10, 50? By the way, why on Earth was REFR licensing manufacturers to create commercial producs back in the late 80s and early 90s if they didn't have this "supply chain" in place? Finally, what is your excuse going to be when REFR doesn't deliver anything yet again in 2000?

<< Xerox technology took 35 years to develop and shareholders made a fortune on that. >> Nothing like sacrificing accuracy for the purpose of self-service, eh? Unfortunately for your little comparison, the truth is, the first xerographic image was created in labs in 1938, and the company that would eventually become Xerox actually acquired the xerographic technology in 1947. Going 35 years forward from that takes us to either 1973 or 1982; either way, Xerox had developed and marketed many products and gone on to make its legendary stock market run in considerably less than the 35 years you claim. << I bought 600 shares in 1992 and was NOT EVER under any misconception that products were "around the corner." >> In that case I can only imagine the line of thinking that must have gone into that investment. "Let's see, these guys have been working on developing a single product for over 25 years, and while I like the technology, I see no products coming in the foreseeable future. Yeah, this looks like a good place to plunk down about $5000."

<<I bought 600 shares in 1992 and was NOT EVER under any misconception that products were "around the corner." >> In that case, could you explain the following comments you made in these posts: 11/17/1997 <<<Says we should see it in showrooms next year.

SPD products will be out ---maybe even on Hankuk's original target of late 98/early 99.>>> Message 4872964 6/17/1998 <<<. The recent PUBLIC announcement by REFR that it will be delivering the SPD product to licensees reflects that we are on schedule and is the FIRST announcement of its kind!!! . It shows that we're FINALLY at the end of the long road to commercialization ...The long awaited commercialization of SPD is upon us>>> Message 4906621 6/28/1998 <<<It was this process that laid the groundwork for the infrastructure THAT IS IN PLACE TODAY...As long term REFR investors our due diligence has led us to believe SPD products are imminent - 9-12 months away...Stock price will rise commensurate with the realization that SPD products are a reality in the NEAR future NOT years away but LESS THAN 12 months away.>>> Message 5042639 7/1/1998 <<<Product will be out in less than 12 months.>>> Message 5077671 7/2/1998 <<<Here are the products that Hanglas will be selling.
