srandi...good points and your articulation is fine.
I too would like to know, like many others how the payments are being made and more importantly, are there any ongoing royalties to be paid and if licensees are paying on a "quarterly payment plan" or not.
Very large payments for licenses may be more palatable for the payer of the fees, but would only lengthen out our receipt of those funds and may in fact diminish the effect a one time payment would have, if it was substantial. IMO this is what is happening with the J's...payment of the fees over an agreed upon period of time.
My real hope is not to get the PPS up and steady AFTER April but beforehand with Mr. turley coming forward with information regarding the M&A activity and how close we may be to getting there...along with any infio he can provide about when they might reinstitute share buybacks or the reasoning behind not doing so...ie: restrictions or use of the funds for M&A, etc etc..
