Yes. I saw a program on Carnagie and the birth of Steel on the History Channel and it seemed so similar to where LQMT is now. Not steel beams or anything, but there is the possibility of huge growth
in smaller markets where the properties of LQMT would be critical to performance.

I agree with the train of thought. Technological advances will soon make BMG an excellent option for many applications. However, we must keep in mind the key difference in comparing steel to BMG: $9/pound for LQMT's cheapest formulation, with little to no room for reduction by economies of scale. Unless someone can figure out a BMG alloy consisting primarily of Fe or Al, I doubt we'll ever be using amorphous I-beams to build earthquake-proof skyscrapers.
