Finally had sometime here in Okla. City to give Robert a call. He was his usual enthusiastic self.

Question #1. The economy is in a horrible state. Have you seen this downturn effecting our OEMs' timelines for the launch of products?
Response #1. No. The big companies are still O.K. Only much smaller companies are being effected.

Q#2. How about the computer manufacturers?
R#2. They are still very excited about bundling as a way to boost sales but they are looking for the way to get the biggest bang for the buck. Quantities are still being worked out.

Q#3. Can you say how many products we are working on with DataPlay?
R#3. We are working with multiple OEMs on a number of different products that are scheduled for launch this fall.

Q#4. How long does it usually take to negotiate a contract as with B&O and what is the usual delay between completion and announcement?
R#4. Usually several weeks to land a contract but the announcement is a different story. Sometimes many months elapse before we can announce due to various constraints.

Q#5. Has this quarter started off with decent revenues?
R#5. We will announce the previous quarter's results by Aug. 15th and, at that time, we will give some guidance about the current quarter.

Q#6. I read an e-mail from Hy-Tek which said that demand for TREO was going through the roof? Do you have the same info?
R#6. We anticipate a strong demand for TREO as well as Eastech's JB which will be launched shortly?

Q#7. I assume that means imminent revenues for Edig?
R#7. We are looking forward to that.

Q#8. Can we anticipate any new product launches or product platform announcements before the fall? The term "summer" has been used a lot. Does that translate to August?
R#8. August/ September sort of blend together as the best time of year to launch new products...back-to-school, in plenty of time to establish before the Christmas buying season. This is the timeframe that our OEMs are working in.

Q#9. There seems to be so much going on at Edig....hiring, new alliances/products/negotiations, etc. How soon will we see tangible evidence that will verify to the public and the many loyal shareholders what we have believed in for so long?
R#9. Tangible evidence is products to the marketplace and product acceptance. We are very close and are anxious to make Edig's technology and our efforts known.

Q#10. A large percentage of Nasdaq stocks are well below the $5/share entry point...many below $1/share. Do you see this as leading to a quicker listing process for Edig when the PPS exceeds $5?
R#10. Yes. We anticipate much more expeditious handling than last year. We expect more expeditious handling because, at the moment, there are many more delistings in progress than listings.

Hope this is of interest to some. For me, it is always good to get an updated feeling about Edig's progress from RP's comments.

All the best to all of you.
