Mono,
You've always emphasized the positive view of POET; I don't see everything positive with POET. But I like the positive view enough, given the risk/reward, to be quite heavily invested. I can't and don't comment on the tech, I only read about it and hope those of us who do know some tech are on the money.
The 7 year comment I made had nothing to do with you, sorry if you thought it did. Just a general comment. The rumors (most all of which turned out to have no substance) have certainly died down quite a bit since the PC days.
