    Ahhhh... CGS.

    Something finally dawned on me this evening.

    If there was ever any doubt that a little bit of US Venture Capital money wanted a stake COGSTATE... and that some more of it might just be watching the CGS proceedings from afar.... here is a name... and a few links for y'all to ponder.


    Mr Dolby (Hollywood) makes a great start to spreading the word.

    Mr Rosenburg (Real Estate) makes it even better


    But there is one more....

    Make of it what you want... but I believe COGSTATE would have been getting more than a few extra mentions in the good ol' USA since Dolby and co. came aboard... in no small part thanks to this bloke.

    This name slipped through the keeper..... so will try explain how he is connected.
