Well thanks everybody! I have enjoyed immensely basking in your appreciation for my "story". Truth is it has been with much longer than the III-V history and it helps explain why I seldom can keep a straight face when referring to this company; notwithstanding the fact that I own upward of 10,000 shares, which ought to exert a VERY SOBERING effect upon my demeanor, especially in light of todays price action!
As I note the chagrin in N.O.'s posts I am compelled to follow up my three-five story. In circumstances not altogether different from these, several years ago I related the same story to my fellow employees as we sat and grumbled about how management exhibited total indifference to our questions and concerns. Even before the laughter subsided, an associate much sharper than I vowed that henceforth, whenever the owner queried him on any subject relating to the company business, he would suggest that he dial 1-800-3535. Immediately it became the standard repartee to anybody who grumbled about anything, replacing the "Here's a dime, call somebody who gives a damn."

Most of you are more up on the technology involved in displays than I. Following this link will take you to references to display factories in Tempe and Motorola contracts not involving TFS. I wonder if PIXT advances and patents are having a disruptive effect on TFS master plan? Interesting story anyway. Considering what KOPN was able to do with little or nothing, I am thinking PIXT could just as well do the same and right now I can own 50,000 of PIXT for what I have in TFS.
