Dale the technology is no secret... you just don't have the comprehension nor aptitude to understand it. But if you are looking to me for a lesson in encryption, I must remind you that I won't be doing any homework for the shorts. I stopped that practice many months ago. I would suggest you start by going to the ZIXI web site, where they have outlined many of their proprietary technology's attributes. You may also be interested in looking over the information on ZIXI's infrastructure on the DB Alex Brown web site, as well as their comments regarding this technology. You continue to look for sales from a company that is still in a development stage. I know you don't really understand these things, but if you are in this stage of development, there will be very little revenue in the beginning. Maybe that is one reason why the Longs laugh every time the Shorts bring this up. The revenues will follow if you have the right technology, management, and marketing strategy. We have got the first two keys in line already. The marketing has yet to begin other than some ads placed in newspapers and trade journals. Who knows? Maybe that is one of the things that will happen in July. I can just imagine the look on your collective faces as you watch CNBC and a ZIXI commercial pops up. The delays have been to improve the software which should be close to completion. They have also taken this time to build out a mirror infrastructure space, which was needed for the commercial applications. You want revenue. And so do I. But in order to develop a substantial, recurring revenue stream everything has to be put into place BEFORE the deals get done. Otherwise, you risk having another company coming along and stealing the very clients you just signed...as ZIXI will do to it's competitors (such as they are). The technology is the key...if you understand it. Enjoy the ride!!
