I'm really sorry, knowing as much as I do about the company I was kind of embarrassed to be there. I'm sure he has a lot of knowledge about the company and the products, but it did not come across at all. A simple question would get a confusing technical answer that even having some knowledge of the products, totally confused me, and I am convinced that Bunka and Martin were equally confused.

Gotta go now, will try to check back here later, but it may not be until tomorrow. Sure hope someone else that was there could give their views. Hope David Baines was not there.

Cann11,

Klopp is a millwright by trade and a self taught engineer, the same as Frank Stronach (sp?) of Magna fame, as he is fond of mentioning. One thing is isn't, however, is a spokesman. He may be very enthusiastic about his company, but he just isn't a particularily good public speaker. Although I wasn't at this conference, I had the same impression of Klopp from his appearence on Investors-on-Line last year. At that time I thought to myself, I hope that any furhter public appearences are handled by someone else. Unfortunately, I didn't see Ed Mirosh's appearence on NBN last July, or so, to know if he is any better.

In the end it doesn't really matter. What is going to move this company now is not a rinky-dink conference in Vancouver, but:

1. Good test results on the RFC, follwed by a licencing agreement and, perhaps even a buy-in by the licencee.

2. The firming up of thier large orders in Mexico and India with some good touting in the main stream media.

3. Surprise new large firm orders. Especially for BOTH the sparrow and eagle.
