I believe you've made a typo...........
They have not received an actual order, but only notice of an order.
It should have read:

What do you mean "the e.digital"? You make no sense, but post his reply, it may be the insightful.
Not much news, maybe this will help in downloading content. I would bold and underline as they do on other boards, but why!!
Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs Demonstrates First Transmission of 100 Gb/s Ethernet-Over-Optical
Thursday September 29, 10:52 am ET
Significant breakthroughs in path to enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet transport using single-chip optical equalizer and optical duobinary modulation
MURRAY HILL, N.J. and GLASGOW, Scotland, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - - In two papers presented to the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Scotland today, Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU - News) Bell Labs announced the first reported transmissions of 100 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Ethernet over optical. These results are a significant milestone in the industry's march towards migrating to 100Gb/s data networking.
"This work is a major first. We have broken through the ceiling in transmission rates and described two techniques that could help implement 100G Ethernet over optical systems," said Martin Zirngibl, director, Bell Labs. "With more and more enterprises moving to 10Gb/s transmission, carriers are looking to implement 100Gb/s Ethernet in the Metro Area Network (MAN) as a way to efficiently multiplex and transmit high amounts of data in its native Ethernet format."
Today, Ethernet signals are transported over 10Gb/s and, occasionally, over 40Gb/s SONET connections. This Bell Labs work is aimed at producing 100Gb/s Ethernet-over-optical transmission.
The Bell Labs research team was able to deliver a 107 Gb/s optical data stream, representing 100 Gb/s of data transmission plus a standard 7 percent overhead for error correction, using the following two technological approaches:
* Duobinary Signaling: This technique uses three electrical signal levels,
- positive, negative and zero - to represent a binary signal for
communications transmission. Duobinary signals require less bandwidth
than traditional NRZ (non-return to zero) signals. The application of
this bandwidth-compressing format enabled the creation of an optical
107-Gb/s serial data stream using a commercially available optical
modulator (rated for 40 Gb/s).
* Single-Chip Optical Equalizer: Integrated optical equalizers invented by
Bell Labs researchers two years ago, can compensate for transmission
impairments and also for the limited modulator bandwidth in a
commercially available NRZ system. NRZ is the least complex optical data
format to generate. In order to demonstrate an optical 107-Gb/s NRZ
signal, Bell Labs designed a single chip optical equalizer that
compensated for almost all inter-symbol interference arising from
modulator bandwidth limitations in an optical 107 Gb/s NRZ electronic
time division multiplexing (ETDM) transmitter. As with the duobinary
approach, Bell Labs researchers used a commercially available 40-Gb/s
optical modulator in combination with the optical equalizer to generate
a 107-Gb/s optical NRZ data stream.
The ECOC-submitted papers on both of these approaches are available upon request by sending an e-mail to pbenedict@lucent.com.

its was only at test? Whats wuz ornly a test?
I would take $0.98 a share and hightail it out of here. It appears that you missed a zero in your post.
Please give the link that states that. Or are you just playing your little game again?
Edit: You are quick.
Well Cassy, lets see how long your post stays on Agora. I give it maybe a half hour........Silversurfer is probably having a hissy fit, since he gave FL Barrister both barrels and he didn't say anything derogatory. Not that you did either! Either way, it should liven up that place, it's been way to quiet lately, with the exception of Daboss' cut a paste routine and Emma budgeting for more shares.
Who is Wensor? Are they a suppository company?
Thank you.
Hello all.........I've tried to find the webcast on the edig website and I've been unsucessful. Funny thing is, it doesn't even show up on Yahoo http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=EDIG.OB&d=t Does anyone have a link to it, so I can listen to it? I wasn't able to yesterday, but from what I'm reading, things aren't so rosey in Poway; or they are, depending on which board I'm at.
Thanks
Why didn't you do it electronically?
Pretty quiet, there must be something other than "edig" to do..........as the saying goes....
you can only beat a dead horse twelve times.
Hey Arkie? What's up with the advertising? You on the payroll for Starburst?
That just gave me an idea, perhaps e.Digital should start advertising on message boards, might be a new source of revenue, although they would have to keep it quiet NDA's and all.
Now I've seen it all at Agora.........Fusion is now in golf.........well yes it is, it is a club by Callaway. Here is the link from Agora......probably just being funny, but I'm sure they'll run with it.
http://agoracom.com/nonmemforum/msgreview.asp?id=408560&refid=408558&orig=408548
What can they really say...........no we're not in it and watch AGORA go down the tubes? What would Dean, Misha and the rest of the group do? They're already, for the most part talking to the choir, since anyone with a legitimate question gets booted.
I really think what they're doing in Poway is going through the Thesaurus finding new words for the ASM.
There's not much you can do, just wait it out till it either goes up, or wait it out till it goes down.......or dump it. I'm in the waiting mode, since it doesn't really matter what happens at this point. I could bite the bullet and take the loss, or wait down the road and see if I get hit by a truck carrying cash.
Hey Dick, how's things in Texas?
Kevin
Not me Steve, no way........I bleed e.digital, I pee e.digital, I..............well you get my drift.
I have full and unwavering contempt, no wait, support, I meant support, honest!!! for the company and its officers.
I feel that they have shown their true colors by purchasing shares on the open market and not just waiting for their stock options to roll in.
I feel that they have always lent an open ear and responded with utter dignity to all who have questioned their motives.
I feel strongly that the future is bright and you gotta wear shades and that there will be no more dilution.
I feel that the Board of Directors will take an active roll in the company and some will even purchase a couple shares of stock, JUST TO PROVE THEY BELIEVE.
I believe that when the lease comes up on Evening Creek Drive, they will move the operations into the spare guest bedroom at Atul's house.
So, there you have it. My strong convictions about this company. I hope all is well with you. I haven't chatted with you for quite some time. Still in AZ?
Kevin
Ory, don't hold your breath, or you'll pass out. Who knows what's good news or what's BS. With the company being as quiet as it is, for so long, one can only guess what is not going on.
I think a shareholder uprising with war paint, hatchets and flaming arrows (not the alternative lifestyle flaming arrows) would be a great way to open up the ASM. Tie FF to a pire and set it on fire, put RP on it as well if he says one more SOON or EXPECT.
I can tell, even from where I'm sitting.
Hey Emit. Don't go, there's been a shitload of us that have been booted by Agorons. I've finally pried the glasses off my face and have seen things in a much different light.
If by some lucky chance they pull this off......meaning actually making some money with the bunch of Mormons, or is it morons running the store.......then great. If not, well, kay serra, serra (I know that isn't spelled even close......tough tooties for those who don't like my version of ebonics)
AS RP STATED, THERE'S NO MONEY IN HANDHELDS.......SHEESH
A Gold Rush in Little Hard Disks
Cell-phone makers are using scaled-down drives in new models. That's music to the ears of outfits like Seagate and Western Digital
For several years now, hard-disk-drive makers have boogied to the iPod beat. Apple's (AAPL ) best-seller and other MP3 digital music players have sent sales of the smallest disks -- required if you want to store thousands of songs on your portable music player -- to the top of the charts. Advertisement
Soon storage makers will be hearing more sweet music: The next generation of cell phones from Samsung and Nokia (NOK ) will be sporting hard drives. Unlike prior models that stored just a handful of songs on a phone's flash memory, these models will have as much capacity -- eventually more -- as your average MP3 player.
SAMSUNG'S FIRST. Used for storing thousands of music tracks, personal health records, credit-card data, photos, even TV shows, they could even eclipse in popularity the blockbuster camera phones.
"There's a tremendous amount of carrier interest in this," says Bob Shallow, director of rich media and music for Nokia, which will release its first hard-drive-based mobile phone in the fourth quarter. Samsung recently introduced a hard-drive cell phone in Korea but hasn't disclosed plans for a worldwide rollout.
Hard-drive makers like Seagate (STX ), Toshiba, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, and Western Digital (WDC ) could be in for a growth spurt surpassing the MP3 player craze. In 2008, about 80 million mobile phones (a modest 10% of all cell phones shipped) will feature hard drives, up from zero today, according to Bill Healy, Hitachi Global Storage's senior vice-president for product strategy and marketing. To put this in perspective: The installed base of MP3 players will reach 54.1 million units by the end of the decade, predicts consultancy Jupiter Research.
UNTAPPED MARKET. And Hitachi is hardly the most aggressive forecaster out there. Seagate, the world's largest manufacturer of disk drives, believes that up to 30% of all cell phones shipped will have hard drives in two to fours years, says Brian Dexheimer, executive vice-president for global sales and marketing. If that's the case, sales of such cell phones will exceed those of PCs, which have long been the biggest consumers of storage.
This tremendous growth opportunity is causing a gold rush into the small-size hard-drive market. Storage maker Maxtor (MXO ) is preparing to release its first one-inch drive. And startups like Cornice are specializing in the smaller drives, used in everything from cell phones to TVs.
Hard-drive component vendors including Marvell (MRVL ) should benefit from this stampede as well. "It's one of the key areas of focus for the company," says Mike Tate, treasurer at Marvell, whose chips go into the disk drives that eventually make it into the Apple iPod.
FATTER MARGINS. But it's not just sales growth that's making these companies see green. The tiny drives have big profit margins. Already, Seagate's gross margins have risen from 17.7% in September to 24.2% in March -- a trend that's due in large part to fat profits on its little disk drives for MP3 players, says Brent Bracelin, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Ore.
With the introduction of cell phones containing hard disks, demand for the smaller drives should surge. As a result, current supply constraints should last for months and push the manufacturers' margins even higher, he believes.
To meet growing demand for the smaller drives for consumer electronics, Seagate already has upped its capital spending by 40%, to $700 million, for the current fiscal year, ending in July.
The first hard-drive phones, likely to appear in the U.S. in late 2005 or early 2006, could cost more than $400, believes Krishna Chandler, an analyst with iSuppli. However, most analysts expect that U.S carriers will subsidize the cost and offer consumers a lower-priced unit.
TRAINING WHEELS. Here's why: Cell phones with hard drives could help wireless service providers increase their customers' data usage. The carriers want consumers to download songs from their networks, thus using more wireless minutes each month. The problem is that consumers aren't accustomed to doing this.
The new phones could act as training wheels by allowing people to upload songs from their PCs, the way they already do with MP3 players, says Nokia's Shallow. The expectation is that consumers eventually will start downloading songs wirelessly. By that time, hard-drive technology should improve, too.
Today, the disks eat up about twice the battery power of flash memory, and they're more fragile, says iSuppli's Chandler. That's why companies like Intel (INTC ), a major producer of flash memory, say that flash, removable cards, and other types of storage offering much less capacity than hard drives will rule the cell-phone market. After all, users do just fine with the iPod Shuffle, which stores all its songs on flash memory. "Average users just want their phone to be a phone, not an MP3 player," says Darin Billerbeck, general manager for flash at Intel.
Chances are this market will be big enough for everybody, though. As users begin to store an increasing amount of information on their mobiles, hard drives could become a necessity. In fact, Nokia's research into various storage formats has found them to be "the best overall alternative," says Shallow. Hard-drive makers might be just entering their grooviest times yet.
Zero Mostel?
APD_yes, where you from? Who where you before?
Just curious, nothing more.

Fred, Zippy, what time do you guys get up?
News like that evidently doesn't sway the price in a postive direction. Perhaps if it came out on the same day that e.dig posted their end of it, it may have helped........but hey what do I know.
I see over on Agora, their going giddy about it. And even they couldn't keep the price up........
HH, snoman, lion in the winter, son of sam. You make some really good points. Of course no one is going to say anything negative over there. The site is controlled by B-Lunistic and now the defunct LL. S hit, even Don got booted. I got booted twice, HRH is on a revolving door over there.
What the heck was the name of the movie, Network? "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore"
LL was probably Freddy Falk and B-Lunist is Renee Warden or worse yet, the Mormon from Utah.
It's a joke over there, there still is a boatload of longs, but are just getting fed up with all the blunders that management has been "unfortunate" to have happen to them.
I'm holding, I ain't selling and I ain't buying and that appears to be the consensus all around cyberspace. 55000 shares being traded is less than the cost of a good Yugo.
Same ol song (killed at Agora)

I believe, well, I've heard from reliable sources who knew someone that lived close to California (Nebraska, actually) that they are moving towards a new design in shovels.
The MOS powered E.DIGGER. Soon you will see thousands if not millions of Highway Department workers leaning on these new devices.
Well their guidance is pretty good........that's if you were blind and someone took your red and white cane.
At this junction of the road, Sven and Olga could do a better job. The could imbed the units with ludifisk...
There is a competence isssue with management?
WASHINGTON, DC—Following the success of its 50 State Quarters program—deemed one of the most popular commemorative-coin programs in American history—the U.S. Mint announced its next ambitious project: releasing a unique penny for every county in the nation.
Above: Fore and an assistant unveil the Kent County penny, which boasts a nod to the cinder-block factory.
"Located in the first state in the union, Delaware's Kent County will be the first county honored in this grand celebration of America," U.S. Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore said Monday. "But over the coming years, citizens all across the nation will see the best aspects of their own counties celebrated on the obverse side of a penny. Collecting all 3,143 county pennies will be a fun activity your family will enjoy for generations."
Starting in 2006, the U.S. Mint will release five new pennies per year for the next 629 years. While the process will be a long one, residents of the nation's 3,143 counties and county equivalents have already begun debating how their regions should be depicted.
"I hope they get the old stone water tower just right," Ypsilanti, MI resident Gina Dalton said. "It's the most well-known landmark in Washtenaw County, so it's definitely what they should use." for DANL
While Fore agreed that Ypsilanti's historic water tower—completed in 1890, boasting an 85-foot-tall base made of Joliet limestone, and standing at the important intersection of Route 17 and West Cross Street—is a good suggestion, she cautioned Washtenaw County residents that their penny is scheduled for release in 2315.
"We're encouraging counties, especially those beyond the first 50 or so, to think creatively to find a truly unique representative icon for their penny," Fore said. "Water towers—along with mountains, covered bridges, and lighthouses—will be among the first images to get snapped up. We'll need to see some shoe factories and cell-phone towers, too."
Residents of Loving County, TX, population 67, are taking no chances. They have already tendered their penny's design, which features the Johnson family's round barn, the only structure of note in the vicinity. Residents said they plan to hold annual bake sales to maintain the building until the penny is released in 2371.
Richland Center, WI resident Tom McCrary said he is anticipating his penny's 2433 release.
"Richland County is best known for its apple harvest, dairy farms, and the rock bridge," McCrary said. "But after the lesson of the New Hampshire quarter, I'm not too comfortable putting a natural rock formation on our penny. Luckily, we have another 438 years to decide on a symbol that accurately conveys the spirit of Richland County."
Some U.S. citizens, particularly those in coastal regions, have raised concerns that their counties may never get a chance to be represented, due to rising water levels and tectonic shifts.
Citizens of Alaska and Louisiana have expressed worries that they may not be represented at all.
"I have spoken to numerous concerned Alaska and Louisiana citizens, and I tell them all the same thing: Settle down," Fore said. "Although they are technically called the county pennies, the coins will certainly include Alaska's census areas, Louisiana's parishes, and independent cities like St. Louis and the District of Columbia."
"County equivalents are part of our rich national tapestry," Fore added.
Fore also addressed worries that the penny may be out of use before the last counties are represented.
"You have to keep your eye on the big picture—this is about Americans connecting with America through numismatics," Fore said. "Don't count the penny out so fast. This may be just the thing to get people excited about the penny all over again."
The U.S. Mint has designed a folder for collecting and displaying the county pennies. The cardboard murals, measuring 8 feet by 35 feet, will be available at most Walgreens stores, or directly from the Mint by mail for $4.95 plus $179 for postage and handling.
Freddie;
What do you mean the "latest pump"? Silver sold! I don't think he's pumping at all, just stating his feelings.
The Richard Craniums at Agora and the home office should wise up to the facts. But evidentially, the ROSE COLORED glasses are constructed with the same material used in welding goggles.
This is the best of times and the worst of times. Great stuff to put in MH's book.
I got bumped off of Agora for responding to LoserLong, who stated "is a Agora Dead"? All I said was something to the effect, not yet, wait till mid 2005, and for responding to ButchyBoy, with an on topic response.
Agora is the best written comedy blog on the net. The only thing that may top it is the Onion. www.theonion.com
Report: U.S. Leads World In Lost Sunglasses
WASHINGTON, DC—According to a report by the Bureau of Accessory Statistics, each year the U.S. loses more pairs of sunglasses per person than any other nation. "Over 1.6 billion pairs of sunglasses are lost by Americans concerned with shielding their eyes from excess light and harmful UVA radiation," the report read. "This works out to six pairs of sunglasses per American per year, or 50 pairs of sunglasses lost every second." In second place, Italy has a lost-sunglasses rate of one pair per citizen per year, followed by Japan, Iceland, and Portugal with loss rates of .23, .19, and .16 respectively.
Somehow they all end up with the posters on Agora. I suppose they also get the socks that the dryer eats as well!!
That's great HRH, but it sounds like a lot of hot air to me.
heheheehehehe
I got mine on ebay.......still working like a dream, a tad heavy, but nice........my Larry Welk sounds great.......and a one a and a two a........
Had to get rid of it for Lent.
Woof
Woof
I've had problems with the Rio Karma, hard drive sticking on two players. They replaced them, however, my O1000 is still a great workhorse.............it's about 2.5 times the size of the karma..........I have a special tool belt I wear when listening to it, so my pants don't fall down.
