PC publically informed us, at the Empire Club event, to look for partnership announcements, or words to that effect. We know that MS 8 is linked to a potential partner, who has asked for scaling to 100 nm and possilbly even lower. It occurs to me that PC was signalling to us that the next annoucement has to be about partnership, because he knows that MS 8 cannot be announced due to NDA issues until the potential partner commits to publicity; an event totally outside of POET's control.

Given the GT article we should have every confidence that 100 nm is a done deal, the announced delay of MS 8 until the end of June could be simply to tidy up the scaling down of other POET objects.

I really do not see why there is any concern about MS8 it is simply one point on a graph of scaling down process and GT confirms we are achiving the results required and besides the SP has not tradionally reacted that brilliantly to technical achievements NR. So what are you worrying about.

Come on guys, we all know what will happen to SP when a partnership is announced. I think I can already hear the chink of real money in the POET till at long last. The partnership annoucement is getting nearer day by day and boy aren't we all going to enjoy it when it arrives. The ship will have docked, the bands will be playing and we'll all be slapping each other on the back, metaphorically that is.

Why the gloom you bunch of commited old pessimists.
