Apology accepted and appreciated. As far as relevent topics go, I think that the logical extension of our proprietary IFE video platform to the realm of set top boxes is not fully appreciated yet. Some seem to diss the potential appeal of HD-based portable video in areas beyond the initial IFE arena (which itself was belittled by some here). But when one really looks into the situation, the convergences are impressive. A secure means of controlling "files" (movies, etc) provided via cable or satellite goes a long ways towards filling the current content gap for portable HD-based consumer video devices. And the fact that most digital cable and satellite content is distributed via MPEG4 hasn't escaped my attention. DivX compression is derived from MPEG4, so most of the technical problems of secure content transfer and control have already been addressed with the development of the DigEplayer. I fully expect to be hearing more on this front at some point. It would certainly fit the bill as far as 'putting us on the map' goes. Time will tell.
