Patents...I note that,  5787445 AN OPERATING SYSTEM INCLUDING IMPROVED FILE MANAGEMENT FOR USE IN DEVICES UTILIZING FLASH MEMORY AS MAIN MEMORY

  and ......5839108 FLASH MEMORY FILE SYSTEM IN A HANDHELD RECORD AND PLAYBACK DEVICE

have had a re-assignment and change of name as of 04-06-07....they are now assigned to DM 

I have been following 445 and 108 since day one...now seeing them moved into complete control of DM, I have mixed feelings, however, I guess it had to be.

 fingers crossed....it's moving into things I do not understand....lol

Prior to this move I've  had no real concerns. Understanding the tech is one thing, handing it to someone in name is another.

 Guess it's like giving up your daughter to a stranger in name.
