No concern here. I always appreciate hearing what others are thinking. It can be the bane of speculative issues that the earnings horizon is not very clear. So we all have to worry a little more than usual once we put in our buy orders. But Cycomm is starting to look less and less like it will be a problem.

Don Seeing you used to be an airline pilot I thought you might find this interesting. I heard that it is suspected a recent Airbus crash in Thailand was caused by a passenger using a laptop computer in the aircraft which emitted a virus which somehow threw all the aircraft's control programs into chaos with the result being loss of control by the pilot or navigational problems and the subsequent tragedy. I know the Airbus is supposedly state of the art flying where the pilot uses a dead-feel joy stick to control the aircraft rather than the traditional stick as used in say Boeing jets. Airbus crashes due to computer errors have happened before. I know one crashed into the French Alps when the pilot set the computer in the wrong mode and blindly flew into a mountain while continuing to stare at the readout. I was wondering if you know anything about Airbuses and how laptops interfere with navigation and communication channels in aircraft generally. How this is pertinent to Cycomm is that, as we all know, the Tempest laptop emits no radiation whatsoever and therefore is safe to use in any aircraft. This would be part of the reasons why the FAA approved Cycomm laptops for the C32A program. Imagine all airlines offering their first and business class passengers (the airlines' key market) the use of a free or hired Cycomm Tempest laptop running all the basic business software (Lotus, Microsoft Office) so executives can work while flying. This would be a huge market and would put Cycomm in the hands and in front of a lot of senior executives. Maybe the airlines, Hertz, Avis etc could be the key players in something like this. There is so much competition for the commodity of flying from A to B that any difference in service offered is usually snapped up by airlines. I reckon a few phone calls could sell a few thousand computers easy. Rob
