I just don't know, Savant, but I wish I had more info to instill confidence at this stage. I really am trying hard to foresee ongoing proprietary aspects, but I need help in doing so. I'll tell ya, I'm flying blind on this one -- sometimes I just wish I didn't have so much faith in the guy that runs this show! But as Paul has said, he's top notch. Larry, get out there and put some results and some new info on that home page, will you? Where are we?

I really don't know if what we are seeing with Hymap is the same as, or possibly even more enhanced than our equipment. If anyone can buy one of these things and plug in the needed software, why will they not do so versus paying us large royalties, etc? I'm not suggesting that everyone will go out and spend a million on one of these, but if companies large enough to make a difference can go out and buy one of these versus acquiring us or paying hefty fees, why won't they? It seems to me that the manufacturer would be interested in making things user friendly in order to sell as many as possible. Then where is EDIS -- what do we do that isn't attached to our aging machine. I don't believe we're a mining company, as I once thought, a company with key interests in one of the worlds largest gold and mineral reserves, etc.

In this age of fast-paced software evolution, will results once only possible with ESSI's analysis skills be possible to all soon via software enhancements? Comparison: Once it was possible to create web pages only with a knowledge of the HTML markup language. Now, complexities of the language are hidden behind easy-to-use interfaces.

If ESSI does all the work proving this thing and the manufacturer extols even greater virtues of more recent and possibly less costly equipment, what does ESSI have for their efforts and where are they after this 3 year contract?
