when you brought the first MXP 100 or whatever the next new innovation was at the time to the SHM. Seems like years ago - oh, wait, that was years ago. PTSC is, I believe, in a very strong position and the courts will affirm the validity of our patents, whether in CA or TX. I hope it is TX because, as Ron has pointed out, the docket ``may`` move more quickly there. No guarantees as you know on what a court may do, but I think we win on the coast or here in the heartland. Right doesm`t always win but in this case I believe it will. I firmly believe that Sony is working out a deal or has already licensed and is trying to get a leg up on their Japanese competitors. Let`s not forget that they are competitors and would not lose any sleep if one or the other took one in the shorts. Watch for the 5 to break ranks if they haven`t already. One dominoe falls and the rest will as well. Again, great to see you back. BTW, don`t give up totally on edig yet. :>) Kirk
