That happy medium could include, as you suggest, keeping the 'three' and filling the two vacant spots with qualified individuals; surely, something no one could argue against.
Why is there a need for people in the "software field" when we already have Schrock and Tredennick?

Surely the need is for two dynamic individuals to fill executive positions in order to diversify the range offered by PTSC rather than putting everything into the PDSG basket?
In September 2009, we entered into an agreement with Avot in which Avot will develop a software package for PDSG’s Vigilys product. (10Q - Looks like they have been listening to the discussions between emit and I on the potential for the inclusion of Avot's software in the Vigilys package - smiley).
