that I think that RG, PB, and DS came to our company to get Crossflo onto the market. At the time they came aboard we had enough money in our till to allow them to purchase Crossflo and the others. I am still excited about the potential of all of the new additions, but I think Crossflo could really do well considering what is about to happen in the healthcare field. What concerns me now is if there is enough money remaining to market it as needed. It seems to me that RG has taken great efforts to ween us away from dwelling on the MMP. Possible reasons: 1) Perhaps he did see problems with it some time ago. 2) Perhaps he realized the political powers of PUBAT too late. 3) Perhaps he just did not want us to be dissapointed if we got a rejection. 4) Perhaps he thought the odds of us winninig were greater if they were quiet about it. There could be dozens of reasons. Most of us became investors in this co. b/c of the patents. We have watched these go through many trials and tribulations and it is not easy for any of us to quit searching for the answers. Most of us think we know the answers and can not understand how anyone else could not see what we do. I hope that they file an appeal and the examiners can come around to how we see things. Lambertslunatics speculation about a German firm buying out the entire MMP was not bad IF we could get enough money for them. I really don't see DL doing this as I think much of what they are trying to do is dependent on the MMP. At this point I don't see how we have enough money to continue the fight--the legal fees are taking all of the money that we have. There is just too much that is unknown right now--we need to hear from management. GL, ads

With regard to the above in bold (added by me), is that not part of what the HP partnership would provide?..i.e. they bundle up the solution (with Crossflow's software as a component) and market it as a package? In terms of the government adspect of the equation (i.e. Justice department & HLS, local governments, etc.), this may sell itself (word of mouth..early successes at various institutions, etc..also, we do have Crossflow people selling this stuff on their own as well..so I would not discount this aspect of the equation..

As far as DT is concerned (I think you meant DT), they wern't bucking the patents just for the sake of doing public service..make no mistake, they have some "skin in the game" or thier vendors or suppliers have some "skin in the game"..they might not be a potential buyer of the MMP in total - but they sure as heck have some interest and were probably put on notice of infringement (or their direct vendors or suppliers..though I think this unlikely..as one chooses to fight your own battle - especially where money is involved..and let the other guy fight for himself). The more that I think about it..the more happy I am that we have the Germany decision as a fall back position - and we may yet be able to net some big fish in the interium to pay our legal bills and have some left over for our other business enterprises..
