Hey I am a reasonable guy.

I did not say anything about weekends and holidays. I believe in family values and leading a well rounded life. But I do have two girls to send to college, so lets not slack off to much.

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"?

To: Mike Jacobs, [ from one staunch FAST-1 believer to another ]

A certain CEO likes to say he is shepherding his company along the path towards "saving lives" with a great medical device. He has indicated [ and I agree with him on this ] that the momentary fluctuations of his company's market price shouldn't detract from that noble objective. I agree on that point as well.

However Mike, my conscience is really starting to bother me. Please help me with this now because around 3:00 am last night I woke in a cold sweat. I had a dream you see where I saw the thousands and thousands of poor folks who have died because the FAST-1 WAS NOT AVAILABLE to help save them from 1993 to this very day. Now the "supreme being" only knows that you have had all kinds of hurdles to overcome in the past several years in order to prove this product and get it to market. However, everyone I talk to who have worked with the FAST-1 feels its super so it would appear that the current roadblocks may be commercial.

In view of your stated primary objective of saving lives I trust that you will not allow crass commercial concerns to further slow down the introduction of the FAST-1 on a "MASS" scale. That said, I am perplexed by the fact that PYNG can not yet announce significant "mass production" orders. After all this time is it not possible to make such an obviously superior IO device commercially attractive to buyers without PYNG losing it's shirt so to speak ???

Please help me understand why thousands of lives may have to be lost "BEFORE" this wonderful product is available on a grand scale.

sincerely and ,

LOR

P.S. - To Stubbs [ with tongue in cheek ] -

I am appalled at your last post.

Are you saying [ in part ] that the only time PYNG management worries
about us shareholders is when they "need money" ????

Didn't Mike Jacobs [ his very self ] come on this forum a day or so ago [ longer you say ] and indicated that PYNG through himself and Doc Johnson [ who promised to help keep us on the straight and narrow ] would be informing us significantly more often then over the past several months ??? My guess is that Mike has been to pooped to post and that his arm and fingers are so sore from logging orders that typing messages on his laptop to the SI PYNG forum is just to physically painful. Also, I suspect he has confined Doc Johnson to the lab "without internet access" until any final modifications to the FAST-1 have been completed prior to going to "mass production".

However, I have been told that Mike recovers quickly from positive customer activities and that the technical changes after so many years of product development are really minor. Therefore, I expect a tonne of posts from these gentlemen any minute now ... and of course while we wait and rub our rosary beads I am eternally comforted by the saying

"NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS".

[ Please excuse me for a minute while I use this towel to dry the area behind my ears. ]
