I would love to see "Wired" have a nice article about MADI. Will have to wait and see, don't know which magazine MADI will be in. I first read about Xybernaut in "Wired". Thats the company with a computer that you wear. Boeing employees use it, for example when they are building airplanes. They need to be able to call up a screen with a complex diagram out on the factory floor. I think that an anti hacking device is just as sexy a news article to the public as a computer that you wear. I am confident that MADI will get alot of coverage once the ball starts rolling. Magazines are watched by newspapers and television producers etc. and vice versa. So once one of them covers it, the others often follow. The general media usually does not mention the name of the company just the device and what it does. The world can figure out from there. A stock I know ,ICEB, which was a BB stock at the time, jumped $2 on monday after NPR mentioned their product on the radio over the weekend. I watched it happen.

I would also like to get ahead of a probable concern that some people may have regarding Canadian companies. This is a Canadian company trading in the US and will issue an audited fiancial in the near term. The audit will be done August 31 and will be reported as soon as it is official. The company is well aware of the problem of being a BB company from Canada. The numbers have to be consistent with what is being said and they need to be appropriate. I raised the issue with them and they are sensitive to it. I did not like raising it because it has a big brother U S tone to it. The company was not irritated with me and we conversed about the Canadian issue. The company is well aware of the need to be fully reporting and forthright. They knew the consequences of going down any other path before I asked the question and the NASDAQ rules.
