Zeev, I believe that Bill was overwhelmed with far more during the past 7 months and GRNO is still around and making progress. Each of us as human beings have our faults and our strengths. While seeking faults is always the path of least resistance during difficult times, recognizing accomplishments such as sustaining R&D and final operational upgrades are just as significant. It would have been easy for BC to just close up shop and say that the hassle of bringing his technology to market just isn't worth the BS. But he hasn't and I am grateful for that. Not trying to be an apologist or advocate here. Just bringing my personal opinion to it all. Regards, Ron

Zeev, To further illustrate your point. Back in the 60's I worked for a small mfg company. The entrpreneur who started it eas able to keep track of everything until sales reached about $1MM/yr (today=?, $4MM?) and then sold to his younger exec v-p who was onboard with him shortly after start-up. He in turn ran out of the right stuff at $8MM sales volume (today=$30MM?) and was replaced by others who in turn took the sales to $25MM (today=$90MM?) by the mid 70's. The co. was then sold "to move to the next level", to a Canadian competitor who promptly took the customer list and tools and blueprints and went to Canada. 400 people out of work in a town with 20,000 population, basically as a result of mgmt failure to see what was happening to the business. No real point to this tale except that this co. ran into a mgmt skill "barrier" at different sales volumes that they were lucky enough to maneuver until the last one when the luck ran out. It takes an evolving set of mgmt skills to keep a co. viable and a lot of entrepreneur start-ups fail because the entrepreneur can't let go of his baby and put the requisite skills in place to grow beyond the mgmt skill barriers as they arise. I wonder where GRNO and B.C. are located on the growth curve? Chas
