It is one thing to bring people into awareness of liquidmetal, it is another to pass their scrutiny of liquidmetal management and reliability. Just saying these two guys obviously have not met with success in sealing a sale. One is afraid of his shadow, the other one doesn't have one.
Houck may be the key, if his CV vets out. Personally, from my brief DD, I think he is a credible force. I just hope he can prevail inspite of the incompetencency of management surrounding him.
