One thing I intentionally left out - USPTO. A positive outcome there, on the '148 and more so the '336, could also be a strong catalyst for big things to happen. And the USPTO may advise at any time.

SGE

PS: I'm going to be away from the puter for most of the rest of the day, so if a response comes to these "Where We're At" posts (hasn't yet) and I don't give an immediate come-back, you all KNOW why. I hope to return to see a PACER!
