Well, I have now read the Business Week article, and have real trouble believing fonix has the Holy Grail, or an essential next step for ASR. It's obvious they have a saleable technology, but it looks like a bit player to me and to a whole bunch of other people who should know. It looks like there are many ways this technology could go in the next generation. It's not as simple as HMM hits its dead end, and fonix takes over; HMM will go for awhile, and several technologies will vie for utilization in the next generation. If the entire market is $1 billion in 2000, as the article says, no way will fonix earn $1.00/share, even by then. Now Scruff and all, please don't rag on me for raining on your parade. I am not demeaning the Siemens agreement; I'm just trying to get a perspective on it. Bob
