AV--Thanks for the input. I did not mean to suggest that ISO certification would be the trigger for me to invest. I am well versed in ISO 9001 and can tell you it means a whole lot of nothing to the investment community and is sometimes a pain for the suppliers and customers. All it really means is that you have a documented set of Standard Operating Procedures for everything you do along with corrective action procedures for when you screw up. These documents allow the auditors to nail you for non compliance when they do their inspections. "Just document what you do and make sure you always do it by the way it is documented." It doesn't really ensure quality, it just ensures consistency, in some cases. The news release just sparked my memory banks to share the name of this company I have been watching. I would have been nicer is the news release had something of substance, though. Your name does not look familiar so I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to this thread and I hope we hear more from you in the future. Especially when you provide information like that from Morgan Stanley First Call. For the moment, it appears we are having our moments of slight insanity on Stock Swap but we will get back on track real soon. Blame it on the holidays, new babies, new cable modems, rotten tech performance, and new career objectives. When we are in SYNC, we are unbeatable, when we wander, we are downright hilariously pathetic. Gotta love us. Andrew
