CTS,
I am simply unable to reconcile the whole situation.
Esign could be a part of it. A development contract yet to be performed could be part of it, though the reduction in force effort might undercut that possibility.
Steven often makes statements that become less and less clear the more you re-read them.
Yes, my conclusion has been 4000 units were shipped in Q3, but it is possible an additional quantity was perhaps paid for late in the quarter, recorded as deferred revenue, but not shipped in Q3.
I know this may be a hopeful, goofy conclusion. You are most likely right about the volume.
