What feeds my optimism regarding our new business venture is the overwhelming increase in the need for the product/services we offer now and what we will add to our product/service offerings in the coming years through M&A. In my humble opinion, the ground work laid during the past 2-3 years by various private and governmental forces in identifying needs and generating expectations in secure data exchange forms a solid foundation upon which Patriot will build their business, with RG & DS architecting the effort in an informed and deliberate way.

I look forward to the future with great anticipation of success, and will welcome additional complimentary acquisitions as they are brought into our fold to add to that success. As RG has already publicly stated this is his plan for the future of Patriot Scientific, I expect he will execute this plan with purpose and focus, not allowing the ongoing MMP circus to distract him from this more important task, which can actually be affected by his efforts.

Here are a few links for weekend reading (my apologies for those that are redundant due to having been previously posted to this forum). I am especially interested in the SOA and Java aspects and how these will be leveraged going forward through 2009 and into 2010.
