Colin: All discussion and information is always welcome and stimulating. I am no techie so can't respond on that level. My questions to Henry would be:

1. Do you really believe that this little company has duped the patent office?
2. If Synthonics process(photogametry) is so slow and labor intensive, why has the Smithsonian bought into the technology?

The negative issues that you raise here are the very reasons I have invested in this little gem? The technology is fast, can be done on a standard pc, is less expensive to execute and can be patented. Sounds like the ingredients for a long term winner to me

Colin, your friend made a good point about other companies being in the industry. I don't
believe he even scratched the surface on the number of companies out there that are
developing 3D technologies. The reason for this is that 3D "IS" the future for PC's,
Movies, Games, Virtual Reality, Medical simulation etc, etc, etc... Each of these market
segments is going to be enormous.

Will SNNT be THE top player in all of these segments? I doubt it. Will they be able to
play in a many of these segments? I believe so. It is also the opinion of NVIDIA's
management team that the technology is real. I believe the CEO used the term
"Amazing" when they signed a marketing alliance with them. As you know NVIDIA is
one of the leading 3D processor developers in the market. I don't believe that they are as
naive as patent office employees are alleged to be. I also would find it hard to believe
that Smithsonian would accept "junk" for it's CD-ROM release. The museum archiving
market alone is worth hundred's of millions of dollars. With a flagship account like
Smithsonian, SNNT should get a piece of this. This company could grow just on the
museum market.

Please thank Henry for the sample of competitive info, and his selfless efforts to save
my investment, but I'm riding this one a LONG way.

John

I just read your thread about Synthonics and signed up immediately so I could respond to your drivel. It appears to me that either you may be well read, or more likey, one of those people who throw around a lot of convaluted factoids to make yourself feel important.
I know nothing about the products or lines you mentioned. However, I do know about Synthonics. It's painfully obvious to everyone familiar with the product and the technology, except of course yourself, that you don't know diddly squat about Synthonics. You may be in love with another technology. That's your right. But, don't pass yourself off to others that you know anything of value. Based on how adamant you are, AND how wrong I KNOW you are about Synthonics, I seriously question anything else you may have to try and pass off as fact. If you don't like us, WONDERFUL! Go somewhere else and try and peddle your factoids. If your company outperfoms Synthonics, I defer to your technology.
As I mentioned, I know nothing about the technology you love. When I first heard about Synthonics technology (In the days under Columbine Financial) I flew to California to view the product. I have met some of the principals and know a great deal about Dr Charles Palm, chief technology officer. Look at his track record. Do some investigation on the principals and you'll find so much egg on your face, even you will see how unimformed and ridiculous you are.
Now to all you true Synthonics hopefuls. Hang in there. There will always be naysayers. In short order, we'll be grinning from ear to ear. The secret is slipping out and soon, we'll be on top of the mountain. I have put my money where my mouth is in a big way. I have researched this company & the principals, from the CEO, even down to the patent attorney. I've been in this for two years. In all that time, the principals have always returned my calls and answered all my questions fully. The only thing that has not been 100 % accurate is the time frame. Admitedly, it has taken longer than anticipated. My money is on the technology, but even more so, on the integrity of the people.
SNNT --- ONWARD, UPWARD & FORWARD
