Lots of good posts. I believe we received about what we (most) thought we were going to get. While the previous PR could have been worded a bit better, EDIG employs engineers, not writers. So, they get a break since the total was actually over 2.2M and SGE was right that they ``had a week to go`` and it looks like they actually got advance payments or added revs in that last week....or they couldn`t get their slide rule to line up.

As doni and others have posted, the patent pending is a big deal. A company as small as EDIG and as cash strapped as EDIG would not go through the expense and hassle factor if the patent was not a really big deal with large upside in terms of leverage with lending companies. Of course, we`ll know ``soon``....as long as ``soon`` is in mid-May.

I have seen some of the big retailers kiosk tests with products other than ``core product.`` I have no idea if EDIG is involved in any of these tests. However, this is certainly a growth area for big box retail -- and a way to expand into product categories they are not currently selling. A true case of the big guys getting bigger.

Off to be a Valentine...
