Chinmoy, its the glass half full/half empty thing. but does it seem logical that MS would give a vague response and would be trying to tell us that FNTN will not be the company we are dreaming of.? I mean is that logical? Many folks in business give "vague, nebulous" descriptions of a companies potential, but you have to look at it in the context of how and who gives it and then if a positive slant or negative is justified. For the CEO to make a comment logic would say that it is positive, and means that the future is wide open, that SIEMENS, and FNTN are dreaming up future projects that will take it far beyond what their company description reads. To think its a negative statement would not be logical. I mean, give yourself a break. Its frustrating, but there are not boogiemen behind every door.

Dear CR: Thanks for the note. In regard to your query as to why I was excited by the comment "We will be a company entirely different from what you see today," I'm afraid I'm guilty of taking the above quote from Michael Sheppard out of its own context. Apparently, I've given the impression that this was a stand alone question and answer. In reality,the context of the answer was built from 3 hours of logical and progressive thought that preceded the utterance of the above quote. Unfortunatly supplying transcripts of all 3 1/2 hours of our meeting is something I have neither the time nor the inclination to do. I will simply tell you that Michael and Maura afforded me a fascinating and educational glimpse into their company and their vision. I found them to be intelligent, patient and pleasant people dedicated to their jobs and giving of their time. So for now, I'm afraid you'll have to settle for a few quotes, a few headlines and a lot of general feelings that I came away with. Hopefully, you and others will plan your own visits to Ardsley and do your own DD. I'm sure it will help fill in the blanks and inform you much better than I could ever hope to do. Perhaps then, the above quote will make sense to you, too. Regards, Wally
