As we all know there was a VERY good reason why EDig was concerned about the size of guaranteed orders. Because Edig is small company and had other irons in the fire, (Kino, Mediviewer) it was developing....Thank Goodness.....To do the work wanted by BOW would have meant most of the entire 18 man company would have been required to work on his project, creating the Digesystem while dropping all of EDigs interests.
This is quite understandable to me. If at the end of the design and creation of the DS, perhaps 6 months or so has been mentioned and there were no orders just where in the heck would EDig be? My bet, bankrupt......EDig would have had NOTHING going for itself.....
