Hi Dave and Michael: Dave, the cost of operating a supercon is very variable dpending on whether you are tlaking about a newer or older scanner. The liquid helium boil off is far greater and extremely expensive in systems 5yers or older. Most of the new systems require helium only 2 times /yr which is a whole lot cheaper than the older ones. AS I said, the OPART, which is a big competitor of Fonar requires NO helium refills and so you can't win the operating or installation cost arguement on that key device. That's one reason (two actually) why the system is doing so well. Michael, thanks for the details about patent courts. I just don't see why we can't argue without resorting to accusations of lying. Some seem to prefer to have just one party line without dissenting opinions. I am not in that crowd. The truth is clearly in between or the stock price would not be where it is.
