Hi Gummie - Anax, you are a tough nut. You don't even like IOM's last split...I think I am beginning to see the problem. Ah well! - Okay, what exactly is the magic of "hi-tech"? Seems to me, more important than "hi-tech (a lot of hi-techs are on their proverbial butt) is having something that is unique....The only FDA approved facility that manufactures specialty gum as a delivery system for OTC products is unique! Anax are you old enough to remember WD-40...Do you remember the meteoric rise of that little stock...Wasn't hi-tech but it sure spent some time in the stratosphere...Couldn't cure the common cold, but it was unique!...Who knows, GUMM might even cure the common cold someday...Well, at least it could deliver your zinc and calcium and daily vitamins, deliver your medicine and even cure your penchant for smoking, etc. I think hi-tech is overrated.

< I would also like to hear what it is in the CEO's background in the way of concrete accomplishments at past jobs that has inspired such confidence in his management skills> Hi Anax- This really is the $64 question....the mystery man...why was he chosen and what does he have to offer. IMHO he may be uniquely suited for this job. He is a salesman and GUMM needed a salesman. I do not know the man personally, (I did spar with him on the internet), I believe he is driven, demanding, cocksure and knowledgeable. I believe he has innumerable contacts in the US and offshore and knows how to use them. Most importantly, he is not afraid to ask for the order. The proof is in the pudding, however! In the market game you take your bets and wait. My bet is he takes this company right up the flagpole! Mike
