WOW ... this was before my time. Thank you for sharing.
For a company (EPGL) to sign an agreement with Coopervision, then 30 days later sign one with INTEL boasts of a true dream team.
Why? Cooper manufactures lenses and Intel manufactures microprocessors. Neither can make the technology alone. Cooper needs Intel to put the technology in the lens and Intel needs Cooper for the lens (manufacturing piece)---The agreements would have never been signed if they both did not want and or need EPGL for the IP et. al...
For those who have been with EPGL since the restructure, I'm sending you long distance hugs, because you are the ones out here, on the front lines doing warding off naysayers and the pseudo contrarians.
Something tells me you will not be waiting long. EPGL may have been in this for the money, but my sense tells me there is more. The desire to change things, to be the change agents that alter the course of history; thus becoming history. Money follows these endeavours and It will follow EPGL, they have past the point of chasing money, the (Disney Dollars) money is now chasing them.
