I've said before that we really may owe the prior management team more genuine thanks as well. Look at the Amadeus design and think about how that could possibly not infringe on an ISRG patent somehow, as well as having very little to differentiate it from da Vinci to make it desirable, other than pricing. SPORT is a design revolution for robotic surgery, but to get there, the old management team had to throw away years of hard work and start largely from scratch. It must have been the most difficult decision they ever had to make in their lives, but we stand to reap great rewards now due to that toughest decision of theirs.

When we go to Vegas, I would suggest we consider inviting Dr. Fowler and Mr. Hargrove at a minimum, and show them the genuine appreciation they really do deserve. I agree they may have gotten in a little over their heads by last summer when the business had to make the necessary transformations out of product development and into more of a business development phase. But without them and their insightful design, we wouldn't be going to Vegas at all.
