I agree, irvine will make big,big bucks from this new technology if it can be produced and sold at a reasonable price. Company's do not make a habit of investing in products that do not have any significant marketing potential. I'm sure that the experts at irvine knew exactly what they are doing when they decided to put alot of money and effort into developing this product. The future for any new venture is not without risk but if you do not try you will never succeed. I'm inclined to side with mgt on this new product. If they can get the prototype on line,if the pricing is reasonable,they could very well have a big winner. We have great new mgt at IRSN and I'm putting my money on their ability to bring these great new products to market. All will not be winners but when you have several technologies working for you, I would expect that at least one or more of the developed products could very well be winners. Irvine has been around the block for many years,they have made some mistakes along the way and that turned off alot of folks. But, this is a different company than it was even two years ago. The potential here is enormous and well worth the risk. Chip stacking and Mems will prove to be their greatest potential and reap their greatest gains. The next few weeks and months will reflect this,as will the news conference on tuesday. I love it when the market is surprised, and love it even more when I own stock in a company that fooled the so called experts. The gains here could be extraordinary for those that are smart enough to recognize something new and look forward onto the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony, you can call me ignorant, some do, but i just don't think IRSN HAS the CASH or marketing expertise to do justice to the IMAGEK product, if indeed it does exist as advertised. that's why i say (think) a patent is really great - until a company with cash (like FUJI)can simply acquire you (IRSN) and probably keep the IMAGEK product, and shed all the other stuff it does - IF IMAGEK is indeed a viable product to make it on its own. I am not so sure IRSN has the cash to even acquire the marketing expertise for the retail industry, let alone the cash to market the product itself. what i would be curious of, and i don't know if this is a concern, could a foreign company acquire an american company that has U.S. Dep't of Defense contracts, in the name of 'national security' ???? or is this no problem. i know IBM is doing stuff with IRSN also..........
