Mono "We already know that his research into customer needs and wants made it clear that a GaAS device must be monolithic."

Very much agree with that, I just did not understand why it was after touring the clients to see what they wanted (i.e. his research into customer needs), he stated they would sell discrete detectors opportunistically. I would have thought that after the clients visits, he would have known this already. That was all I was trying to say. No big deal at this point, chalk it up to a lot of the other things I will never understand. Get that SP up and then I won't care about the history of these things.

Good luck!!
