You never answered my question about XYBR's junk equity. Has it all been converted? If XYBR is such a great company, why can't they get funding from legitimate VC's? Barb

Re: XYBR The patent position is one of the company's foundation strengths, especially when you realize that the patent portfolio is being run by Jim Ralabate--the same guy who ran the patents that turned Haloid into Xerox in the early 1960s. Is the great Franklin Chiang involved? Look at the board of directors: Ex-governor of Virginia, Ex pentagon brass (including the former head of DoD procurement), the guy who invented the Sony Walkman and who now heads up XYBR's Japan office (Kaz Toyosato). COO/CFO who left a CitiCorp directorship to take current position. This is no fly-by-night outfit. I don't see Colin Powell on that list. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
