...As I have said in a prior post, if it is normal company policy, as described in Doc 96 by EDig's lawyers and a policy that is regularly followed not only by EDig but a normal procedure for other companies, to sign a "PRELIMINARY" NDA to ascertain if the other company (APS) has anything to offer (EDig) and to protect the other companies (APS) technology or unique ideas, then should not that company (EDig) find out "Before" signing that contract (NDA) some evidence of the truthfulness of the other companies (APS) position.???...sunpoop

I have blank NDAs in soft copy form.  If you want to see one, I'll be glad to email it to you or anyone else that wants to review, jhawk103@yahoo.com

I don't use "preliminary NDAs" at all.  Our attorney seems to have it covered in the blank NDA we use on a regular basis.  I've been in the consumer products business since 1981 and I have never even heard of  or been presented with a "Preliminary NDA."  Our standard NDA covers this type of agreement.   

The NDA simply says one party will tell or show another some stuff and the party gettin' the stuff won't tell anybody else or use the stuff to beat the first party over the head with it.   

I believe Fred and Fergie were a few pieces of chicken short of a picnic basket on this one, but they are not lawyers.  Sometimes greed and desperation force folks to overlook obvious errors.

Maybe, just maybe, we will get an update on the legal battle with the biz update and financials at the end of this month.
