today's PR WAS important:

It may not be the type of "news" that an annoucement or a contract would command but this is a PINK sheets company and having a space @ the CES convention is not something to sneeze at. Remember the comment made by Moody, "We are a NASDAQ Company. We're just not there yet."

There is a vision here, and this event will show the company and its flagship product to professionals from all types of sectors & industries. Haven't we all had great thoughts, independent of each other, on applications for the CT? But wouldn't it be even better if the companies that had the big $ could come up w/their own applications, and then make their purchases? (How many was that, sir? Did you say 5,000 or 10,000?)

Junk companies w/junk products don't go to this (or pay to have an exhibit booth). The big dogs go. (Again, I reference Moody's comment / vision.) But if you don't believe me or think that Moody's statement is out of context in this use, take a look at this link:
