This month's edition of ErgoSolutions Magazine, which describes itself as "The Resource For Leaders In Workplace Ergonomics," has published the first of two articles written by Tom Large, President & CEO. Under the overall title of "Molecular Ergonomics" Tom calls upon his qualification and experience in clinical biochemistry to try and explain to people why Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs, in relation to using computer mice. This first article, subtitled your "Foot Bone's Connected to your Chromosome" uses a series of analogies to show when working with an ordinary computer mouse, or in any static posture, tissues can become damaged due to inadequate blood flow and falling oxygen levels.

Tom Large, stated, "The articles are hopefully informative while easy reading and were written following many conversations with individuals who had little or no comprehension that problems are not created as a result of limbs performing certain tasks, but are common to all body tissues if deprived of blood and oxygen when performing any task. RSI is not a medical condition it is a method of working that is at odds with the way the body manages its biochemistry so it becomes a medical condition. The message is that there is no movement without biochemistry and so ergonomics must manage molecules.

The second article, to appear in the April edition and subtitled "Taking the Garbage Out," builds upon the explanation provided in the first article to show how working without gripping computer mice is more in keeping with usual working patterns that can be applied over a working lifetime. The articles do not promote or refer specifically to the company's products but places the company in the forefront of new thinking and explains technically the design constraints that are applicable to products design.

Another accolade and recognition for the technical aspects of the Company's products and expertise is from the International Ergonomics and Human Factors Organization (IEHFO). They are an authoritative body that ergonomists in corporations around the world are members of, who have approached Tom Large with a request that he write a technical article for them on "Practical Mousing." IEHFO produce a reference book called the Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors and, following a review by their Scientific Advisory Board, presumably of the information that the www.quillmouse.com Web site provides, they approached Tom. Tom has written much on the subject of mousing and a document he wrote called Computer Mouse Fatigue, that is posted on the www.quillmouse.com Web site, is routinely downloaded some 2,000 times per month. The encyclopedia will be published in early 2005 and it, bearing references to Designer Appliances and Quill/AirO2Bic(tm) Mouse, will likely be on the shelves of ergonomists from major corporations around the world thereafter.

Feedback on the CSUN "Persons with Disabilities" conference in Los Angeles was extremely positive with many high points, not least of which was to see people who could not use ordinary mice, visit our booth (and play solitaire) to find that they can. The "usual" exhibition quantity of brochures for a 4-day event was consumed within 2 days requiring an overnight shipment from New York to replenish it. Many new contacts were established including a meeting with an individual who claimed responsibility for the Section 508 standard. He appeared impressed with the product and delighted that a company has finally produced a mouse to that standard. Some other notable visitors of many were IT consultants from the GSA in Washington, D.C. and The Dept of Homeland Security, along with potential new distributors from a number of countries. Following her presentation on "The Need for Accessible Technology," a hello and "quick chat" was had with Madeline Bryant McIntire, Director of Microsoft. Her presence at this event may indicate the significance that is placed upon the Assistive Technology Sector by major corporations, supported by the presence of other senior personnel with Assistive Tech Responsibilities from both computer and diversified corporations across the USA and other countries.

The year-end accounts are complete and are awaiting compilation and reporting by our auditors. Their backlog may require a late filing to be posted, which is not unusual at this time. Timing also provides for an insight on the first quarter of 2004, which shows (un-audited) and comparing gross revenues including shipping, the current quarter, ending March 31, 2004, to be 171% of those in Q4 2003. In another comparison, Q1 business should be in excess of 50% of the total revenues recorded in 2003.

Tom Large, President & CEO stated, "We have worked to a plan to establish that we are different and justify our claims as to why we make a difference. Today's announcements, in my opinion, support that premise and represent credible optimism for the future development of sales in our core market, the Assistive Technology Sector, by being seen as a leading technical innovator. This and other markets are accessible through the Ergonomic sector that we now exist in and may be accessible via the retail market or by partnership with other significant market players. Connections to and in some cases, dialogue with is now established with organizations that meet this criteria though the outcome or timing of this activity cannot be accurately forecast at this time and is subject to financing tools being secured."
