A buyout has always been a possibility here. I thought we'd hear more noise on a possible JV than a buy out. That hasn't happened either. I thought last year when we struck that little deal with Motorola that more would come from that. I don't think Motorola even has that device approved by MSHA yet and they expected it by April 2009(I remember chuckling when I read that).

There has to be something going on behind the scenes for no one to have received a PO yet. I think we are the only publicly traded company in this niche so it's hard to compare the effect of the delay to the other players. L-3 investors probably don't care because it's only a small part of what they do & govt funding means they'll get the lion-share of the POs just from association with NIOSH & MSHA.

Anyone else having trouble with SH this morning?
