There are many reasons why a company like Digifonic would sell out cheap. Maybe they were in debt and needed whatever monies they could get. Maybe the inventor, who obviously is smart as a whip but maybe had no business sense! Before you say "that makes no sense" remember the guy that partnered with Bill Gates, (no one else does either) he bailed in the early years for a few thousand bucks, I saw an interview a few months back, says he has no regrets, (ya right) ..... go figure that's just my opinion, as elementary as it may be!!
