Emit, thanks for the low down. I due remember edig being part of many alliances for product development in the early days. The IBM one in 1999 with the Microdrive being a huge boost to what was to be the next big thing. So the idea is our tech was lifted or circumvented ILLEGALLY because we had the patents all along. The big question, What took the so long to sue then? $$$ I suppose, if not what?

I have followed this thing so long now, I remember the battle cry was "own enough to count". I was poorer then and never owned much or "enough". I did make bit though. I don't plan on making that mistake again. 24.50 would be plenty after a coupla 3-1 splits first of course. ;)
