Matt, I can't answer your question, but I can add another - are the engineers they're hiring additional staff, or replacements for people who have left? On another topic, the level of hype management is willing to stoop to seems to be escalating. The web page now calls fonix "The Human Computer Interface Leader", even though they haven't yet sold a single human computer interface. It is also clear they are now positioning their product as a "second generation technology", even though there is absolutely no consensus in the industry about what constitutes 1st generation, 2nd generation, etc. Looks like a clever way of saying everyone who's got a product out there now is 1st generation, and since we're late to market, we'll be second generation. A second generation product should be able to do things substantially better or different than 1st generation products, I would think, but I'm not sure what that would be for fonix at this point, since virtually all the claims they've made for their technology have now been accomplished by someone else's product. And still no revenues........ Bob
