You haven't explained yet why all of these companies have purchased KDS.

Remember? You promised to respond to that earlier. Is it your opinion that companies generally purchase this type of new equipment for $140K and up without any reason? Or do you think it is logical to expect that they would do their homework on such relatively unknown equipment first, before spending that kind of money?

You can most certainly provide the number to Ian Kidd for others to contact. I don't have the number handy. Perhaps others can contact him with CURRENT information about what each KDS is being used for.

But I have also talked with him in the past, and he told me that he was processing glass and dolomite via the KDS. He also indicated that the three KDS he purchased came straight from Bakersfield, California, and were full of gypsum....as that is what they were used for there. As you know they were purchased by VICR for slightly over cost a couple of years back, and are the old KDS models, built in 1996, I believe.

They have none of the upgrades made over the last 4-5 years, to my knowledge.

Overall, I'm not sure what your opinions are based on, other than your own opinion that the company would have to have pr'd whatever information you are looking for to make things credible for you.
