Kurt, so many possibilities exist that it can be overwhelming. I remember Dr. Markman stating at the NYC shareholders meeting that he really needs to stay focused on the roll out and take things step by step. Otherwise the whole thing will be chaos. I really feel that GMGC has many of the answers we all want to hear. Once their partners allow the details to flow many others will understand what it is that we believe. I can see why their partners want to keep things quiet for competitive reasons, but it sure is frustrating. Once Dr. Markman builds the foundation for the future by adding other alliances like Intuit and Qwest, things will begin to grow exponentially, imho. This will take a little more time, but once the strong base exists the opportunities will come knocking. Meanwhile, let's just get out from under these conversions already. ( And let's hope that next time GMGC can get a good old fashioned bank line! ) Of course they could only pay back the loan this time with stock, but hopefully they will be able to forcast enough of a revenue projection by next spring to achieve a more conventional type of financing. Take it easy. Seconds Out.
