Hi Dave, Long time no talk. I like the announcements that keep coming out and hopefully others will recognize the value in this stock. You said, "Marshall, SETO has a relatively small market cap of $25M" and I THINK I remember seeing something to the effect that they are going to have 40 million in revenues this year.! Is that a close scenario? If so, isn't that excellent for future prospects of increasing share value? Have you heard any more about Totally Hip? TIA DAV
