O`Leary is a good self promoter. He is also a shoot from the hip kinda executive. Since he has already been on both sides of the digEplayer issue, maybe we should wait for his next sober comment.

IMO, Ryan Air is not EDIG`s white knight even if O`Leary shakes off the hangover and orders 5K additional units. While any confirmed biz right now would be met with glee here, the reality is this is not a home run. However, a 20K or 30K order from a paying airline just might the ticket to a trot around the bases.

As for gambling, I believe the technology exists today in software form which could easily be added to the digEplayer. It is the air space, tax base, political issues, and the gambling industry`s nefarious reputation that will be the problem. I think Paul is right on this one, EDIG is just too samll to be involved with these issues at this point. I also think Wencor will make all of those calls, not EDIG.
