<Should there be a BoD change and a new direction towards actually manufacturing product(s) that have a real chance at successfully being marketed and sold, I would at least be open to hearing such an idea>
Unless we are willing to bet the farm, what you suggest is really not viable. It takes too much money to purchase an already profitable company. And we know from experience, buying startups is not a guarantee for success. On top of that, a startup will take time to develop, a la PDSG.
IMO, anything but divys and buy backs is going down the wrong road, no matter who sits on the BoD.
