BlueFin,

I think it's down the priority list a bit, but I think that it's pretty interesting that someone was so prescient that they picked sigm to sign an agreement with 7 years ago, and just about the time wavx is starting to produce, so is sigm.

Jeeesh, I wish I had bargian stones...I could turn this into a mega-news, BOLDED FOR ALL TO SEE, pronouncement about this is the surgical implanting of all things wave into the consumer side of the equation years earlier, and only I saw the meaning then and no one has given it the slightest acknowledgment...badaboom....stuff but I'm shy...oh well...things are looking up, cheers,

Nomad

OT: Blue Fin: Sigma...
