Status, would anyone care to update me?
Is there still something to the company?
Why hasn't not dissolved, or is that a long process?
Thanks,
run
I'm sorry but could someone quickly bring me up to speed. Been gone a while. Is there anything even to hope for? Is there still an airship? Please be serious. Thanks.

Why give it any attention?
Well, it's almost August. You once said that the share price will be $5 by August.
How massive? Hugely massive or ordinarily massive?
Thanks. I give them credit for hanging in there despite doing nothing for decades.
Update please, anyone.
Have not been around in a long time. Do we still have any spokes left? We still have the airship? Was it tested yet?
I beg to differ as well. Talented people would take a pass on this. But even if someone did not sure if there is a product for him.....
As far as the Argus goes, I been saying this forever too, but no one can give me a straight answer......Koplin been flying his ship around for ten years, been awhile since I checked, but I do not think he has any revenues either.
I have been here for a long time and it is still fascinating to me how there are expectations that management can do something.
They have no viable product. If Steve Jobs came back to life to turn this around, he could not.
Well said,
But there are members who were very belligerent in their posts to members who, quite honestly, were accurate in there opinions of the company. Some are no longer here, some still are.
Unless there were payment terms, I would think only pressure from the SEC or us shareholders could enforce a payment or make a stink about inter-co sales being paid.
With private companies, the receivable could stay on the books forever.
Thank you very much for the report.

I guess there is nothing wrong with the potential.
But again, the ship and/or its past prototypes have been around for a long time.
I think a positive business plan must first start with a viable product.
Anyone ask about funding operations?
The company has executives? How many do you think?
"to hear nothing"
It's been that way forever.
Only by someone stupid enough to invest a lot of capital to refinance the debt into equity.
Or as it pertains to reality.
Are you saying that some members here do not understand business partnerships and relationships?
Please know that I fully understand. I think you do not understand someone disagreeing with your opinion about the likely outcome of such agreements. ignorance is bliss.
Yes, this board is great.
That was the Lotte. A much older ship than the STS-111
And if it a matter of the stratosphere, well TAO seems to have a big edge on us based on what I saw.
For me I still think about the bottom line. The TAO Air Dragon been doing summersaults practically and no one is buying. So what so different about our ship and why do you think it will make a difference. IF it's a matter of payload, which I think someone has brought up before, sorry I don't think it will matter too much.
I thought the STS-111 was shown a lot. Wasn't there a stupid demo in Germany? It's been a real long time, who can remember.
Even if they gave us details, so what? We had plenty of information/footage when they were testing the Sanswire- TAO ship. It's woefully beyond put up or shut-up time. No?
I understand they have to test the Argus, but the questions I have is why should I get excited about it? What's different this time? Wasn't the AZ and Nevada tests a bigger deal than what's next?
Good. Glad to see I'm not in the loony bin, more like a half-way house.
Am I the only one tired of the forevertesting?
7K FEET SEEMS MORE LIKE IT TO ME. Not sure if I would have seen it at 15K. It was very close to Key West. One or two islands before it.
I don't know, but it was five years ago.
Aren't there existing aerostats that can serve that purpose. Does such an application need to be mobile? Every 10 miles or so along the border there can be an aerostat hovering at a fixed location.
I have only seen one myself, on a drive down to Key West. It was always up there.
Great response, thanks
I appreciate you input since you are an expert. So what does the BIB do that some of these more stealthy devices do. Could you be specific? I am sure there are more sophisticated devices than the Sharer Image toy. Again, to me, a layman, I think the BIB is stupid in a combat situation. I think a boy with a pop gun can shoot it down and brag about it in school the next day.
Not sure how big of a need there is for what it has to offer. I would imagine a forward positioned base, whose position is known, could put up an aerostat that been on the market by viable companies.
Bottom line for me is that I don't get it. Let the new company have it. I'm not losing any sleep over the transfer as some others are.
Those small hovering drones at The Sharper Image.....
You can by a thousand of them for the cost of a one BIB.
Not to mention all the real ones not available to the public.
I am not a military person at all, I only have my instincts.
For what that's worth I see the BIB as a stupid piece of equipment. I do not understand why the military would need it.
Again, I am a layman with this, my knowledge is limited to what I see on the Discovery Channel. To me it seems that in this age stealth is such a big factor. Why would they want such a device if there are already products that do the same job without seeing them.
My two cents.
Thanks,
It's just common sense.
By the way, I hope too, but don't count on it.

The company is 100% speculative. Likelihood of revenue is very low.
Company cannot exist without support of lenders or capital investment. That what I mean by going concern. Who said anything about a scam or fluff.
Yes very real. Is it real that you compare this company to one that is a going concern? The error here is in assuming that sales would happen.
Should Koplin resign from Tao? He's been fling his ship for decades trying to find a use for it.
Entirely? I did not use the word complete, but with a CEO change with the number of employees this company has that would be a change of management.
The buck should stop with us shareholders who don't sell. I don't want to keep repeating myself, but the CEO is not the problem
