I've said that a thousand and one times. You're just wasting your keyboard springs. The company is more on the ball than most public companies on the NYSE, yet the gumshoes keep digging. You know why they are so on the ball? They are in a fantastic position of huge growth and have nothing to hide.

Andrew, you raise that same old good point again...I wonder, maybe reps from GM and Ford read this thread...hey, maybe they're thinking OH SHIT!! we made a wrong decision, we forgot to check the background on this product, does it work? is this company capable of delivering? do we have our heads on straight?...better cancel those agreements...I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Was the fifth i in the second sentence dotted. Will this cause the sentence structure to be read as French???? Oh my, oh me. Good God you guys are getting a little over the top with the postings? This company has more people managing it than they have units built and in the field. Give them a chance would ya? We should be glad about a press release as Jimmy Gayle is providing them like DELL computer does. And we wonder if 3:55 is the right time to release. Should it have been 3:44????? Your shareholder value in the long term will not be effected by tonite or tomorrow for a release time unless you are daytrading it. Maybe that is why he waited?????? BACK TO LURKING Bill on the Hill

MORE NEWS THIS WEEK (AND BETTER NEWS)....and other comments. Today's release was not major but many of you still have your expectations WAY WAY WAY too high for an under $5.00 stock. It was merely a nice, solid little release that solidifies business with a major client. The next news will be bigger, but the point is that you guys are way to expectant. HERE's WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY THOUGH: I agree with Andrew... many of you are really missing the major points here. If you are "long", your idle and sometimes sloppy comments are not helping at all. Your focus on relatively insignificant things and idle (and wrong) conjecture is irritating. I am beginning to wonder if some of your are very clever (and subtle) shorters. * LET ME REPOST SOME ADDTIONAL FACTS....FACTS (not conjecture) (1) WHY IS IT UNLIKELY THAT MRPS WILL HAVE COMPETITION IN THE NOISE ANALYSIS FIELD FOR AT LEAST 2-3 YEARS? TWO REASONS: Copywritten software and 5th generation circuitry (patent pending) with a 6th generation being worked on. Incidentally gereration 6 will have the software embedded into the hardware on ROM, most likely. That design is their "ace in the hole" in case they need it. They are not stopping with R&D. This is like cars or anything eles. IF sales of your current design ever slows down, you have a new, improved model ready to go.....smart, huh? Their proprietary software is what give the units the highly desired "selective hearing" that filters out unwanted parts of the sound spectrum (i.e. factory noise) and guarantees crucial accuracy. This software code is extremely complex and difficult to replicate...very difficult. Also, the hardware is 5 generational levels above where it was when CTRL reverse engineered it. The circuitry, like the software, is also important and that is why it is "PATENT PENDING" so no one can SEE how the design was created. If it was PATENTED. people COULD see how the design was created. They just couldn't legally copy it, but someone would anyway. Micronics believes it to be safer to not PATENT the design. I AGREE! (2) WHY DO SOME OF YOUR THINK THAT MRPS HAS ANY REAL COMPETITION? I am totally baffled. There isn't any.....none. nada.... Again they have won every bid, they have super high margins, etc. These are all incredibly OBVIOUS clues that no real competition exists. ******* further DD ***** REPOST FROM MONDAY OF VARIOUS QUESTIONS: (1) the 1.4 mil shares of IB Firm is included in the 10 mil O/S number (verified with Jimmy and Myles); the firm got the shares over a year ago, so this is why. (2) MRPS owns the trademarks on the Ultraphonics and 2 other names, which CTRL is in officially in violation of using, but Jimmy says that they (CTRL) are so low key in marketing right now, that why spend any money going after them. They have an old product and are not actively marketing it. CTRL main biz appears to be software (see ctrl.com MRPS will pursue if they become more active ever. (3) Patent Pending (and this was news) is actually the preferred status. It STILL protects your design, but does not make public your schematics that would allow others to copy it. When you have a patent, the world can view all your technology but that does not stop others from copying it. In fact many will change 10-15% of it and say it does not infringe on a patent. Then you have competitor's and patent infringment suits. They feel they have a 2-3 year window and head start. IF somebody catches up, they then bring out Generation 6 which is already being planned. And then they "patent pend" that. This was a nice surprise, and I agree (4) MRPS is seeking to copyright their software as well, which is the basis of thier "signature sound" formula (5) Their factories now can each produce $3 mil per month of product (6) Both factories can are ISO 9002 approved, which is an important elctronics standard that both MRPS devices meet. (7) this one is kind of fun: NASCAR had MRPS come in to help several drivers includein Darryl Waltrup and Dale Earnhardt, etc, but what I liked is the MRPS equipment had 100% accuracy in predicting upcoming failures of 28 of 28 engines within a certain period of time. (8) News this week (probably 2 releases).... and we can all just guess when. Long term investors won't care when exactly news comes out, and DT's can just be kept in the dark, as far as I'm concerned. PS---- other cometitors like SMT or SDT do not have the "Signature sound", and while they may have a contract with Ford or GM it is for vibration analysis... a non-competiting area
