Thank gawd for progressive hotels and "laptops". I don't know what I'd do without my "late night fix" of the PYNG saga !!! Sure am glad to see we have a CEO with a sense of humour [ dare I say finally ? ] As for "workin our butts off [ at PYNG]" ...... well many of us appreciate and can identify with that. So, it appears we end the day with: ***** The good ship PYNG is slowly heading to port where, with a "re-design" [ yet to be completely finalized ... but we're close ] she will hopefully receive a "volume production" order. No telling exactly when but looks promising within the next couple of months. ****** GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME ..... Well Mike, on a lighter subject, I hope your sales skills are as good or better then your poetry ... now fess up, did you have a bit of help with that "lengthy" piece ??? In any case, you shouldn't go to bed without a reply from one of the faithful [ albeit demanding ] cyberspace nuts and PYNG shareholder. Don't take either seriously as we're just "havin fun": Ode to the great Roy Orberson Only the lonely .... know the way we feel tonight Only the lonely...clutch PYNG shares and pray all night There goes our money .......... with someone new If PYNG's not "mass producing" ...... We 'll sure be bluuuuueeee And our loney hearts wait ....... only the looooonnnnellllyyyyyy. Ah-hem ..... and, for those more kul-tured palates: The CEO [ adaptation of 'Herr Poe' ] Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a BIG and FAST-1 volume of the usual lore While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door " T's a CEO" I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door Only this and nothing more." Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately CEO of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door Perched, and sat, and ..... nothing more. Then this fine fellow beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance he wore, "Though PYNG's price be shorn and shaven, Thou," I said,"art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient CEO wandering from the nightly shore Tell me "IS" the product's ready ??? ..... have 10,000 gone out the door??? Quoth the CEO "Wait-some-more." "Prophet!" said I, "are you evil ..... or just not lucky? Tempter with projections past .... or victim of the hourglass? Desolate yet all undaunted, here you stand on land enchanted In this home where all are watching, .. "ARE WE THERE YET, I implore!" Quoth the CEO "Wait-some-more." And the CEO, never flitting, still is sitting, ""STILL""" is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; "Rock of ages" ... say I .... " tempus fugit ...tempus edax rerum!!! " Quoth the CEO "Wait-some-more !" ********************************************************************************* Michael, all kidding aside, good luck in finally prying that "mass production" order out of the military. Everyone I've talked to there liked the FAST-1 and even if they do buy other less classy "30 year old" devices also, I am sure that the FAST-1 will do very well once they agree on the design for the "first" volume order ..... and of course that design may still continue to evolve, but boy, what a shot in the arm [ er make that chest ] for PYNG that first order should bring !!!! By the way, I assume you have invited all 100+ people "saved" by the FAST-1 to the party referred to in PYNG's post of March 11th .... AND that they will all be requested to wear PYNG jackets and pledge their allegiance to the FAST-1 "in unison on video" or at least be part of a heck of a "group photo"? LOR
