Michael: You need to read the previous posts on this thread. If you are new to this thread I am sure we will excuse your question, but the last batch of posts discusses the backlog in detail. Judy

[Question....does ORBI ever do any business??] And this wasn't a sarcastic query? I thought so and hence the reply in kind. As for you erasing the Orbi link etc.,all I can say is it your loss and not mine. Now if it is a misunderstanding we are talking about here,I am sorry and please do stay. If you really want to know more about Orbi,do visit their website to get a handle on the situation and the link is: orbital.com So there, I am not all that bad as you think I am,besides don't be so sensitive where is your sense of humor.Hope you are happy now?

Michael -- Please remain on the thread. Don't worry if a post causes controversy because, IMO, controversy is the life-blood of a thread. I also think Mohan's comments, as well as yours, were lively and welcome. I personally think cheerleading threads are delusional and we need every angle explored. good investing -- fred

You raise a legitimate question and deserved a better answer than the idiotic response you got. I was wondering the same thing as you were. At some point the backlog and accelerating growth can be a problem if they can't deal with it. Many a fine company has gone into the hopper because of this. If a backlog isn't handled properly it can later tarnish a company's reputation if the orders aren't handled in a timely and quality manner. This leads to a question of my own. What companies could benefit from the overflow of work at ORBI? Any more new up-and-comers? Richard
