You know that back then, it was a different management that was incapable of taking POET to the next level on an actual roadmap. Management simply did not have the right skills to take Dr. Taylor's technology properly to the masses. POET would have been sold too cheap. It would have been like Alexander Graham Bell selling his patent for $100,000 to another party. It was a large amount of money back then, but look at where Bell is today. You seem stuck in the past while not following the current roadmap. Your reasoning is an apples to oranges comparision. Frustrated by the amount of time? Yes, but we are now moving forward and gaining speed --- that is what most of us have been hoping for.
