I noticed they had to change that too-- GE was pissing me off with that last year. [They are notorious for just appropriating IP]. Mark & Vivek are no dummies…. they not only defended their IP (which, btw- our quarterlies and 10ks always acknowledge the importance of this…] they not only defended their IP but have spread it out in such a way that they've given two huge, multinational competitors two different halves of the product- meaning if one big dogs tries to appropriate things illegally, our 'big bro' on the other side will step in, in defense of us, and vice versa, so as not to give their competitor an advantage. Getting on board with Honeywell was one of the most genius moves they've made, IMO- especially now that Honeywell is publicly pre-ordering our product and presenting jointly…. I assume that may light a fire under GE for announcements in the fall, since we're slowly starting to get recognized as desirable. Without that, they more than likely would just sweep us under the rug- maybe buy some modules, but quietly, while trying to negotiate absorption at a lower price….. I don't think that's Mark's endgame…… To describe your ideal model as Intel Inside belies some lofty goals indeed, and he's been orchestrating this one steadily and stealthily, like a grandmaster playing chess, IMO. Multiple products, multiple clients (who have provided a lot of the space/testing/operational funding we otherwise would have had to do on our own), grants, gov't inroads, the Los Alamos pipeline…. to say nothing of Europe--- Materialise, Additive Industries, etc. And who knows what's going on in Asia….. *rubs hands together and grins*. I get super impatient, too- been here since .028 years ago, but whenever I get frustrated, I have to remind myself how early we still are.

Microsoft…..1986…… lol.
