No, this is business, nothing personal, BUSINESS - where greed is good to prompt motivation to exceed expectations, beat out competition and dominate. Our immediate customers (e.g., Wencor) could use a little more greed in their diet IMO.

As for your list; it`s okay, but please replace Connexion with Lufthansa. Lufthansa does apparently have an ``internal`` IFE business (and this is one reason why it was so interesting that they have limited use of digEs - they`re using a competitor`s device to fill a specific need). However, you may want to refine the title of your list to hand held IFE. That`s where we are right now and for the foreseeable future. I say this to focus on our real competition in the niche we operate, and because I think that there are probably several ``generic`` IFE producers that are not listed, and do not produce hand helds.

Connexion is not an IFE provider, but an expanded content enabler. They (and one small competitor, whose name always escapes me) provide a connection with realtime content via plane > satellite > ground connectivity. They enhance IFE through this connectivity. We want Connexion to be our best friend. As I understand it (corrections welcome), this connectivity is not yet available for domestic flights, as the FCC has not approved/provided methods, though they are expected in late Fall (which may be the reasoning behind the digEsystem not being available till early `06, IMO).

But I KNOW nuttin`!
