hi from the u.s., page-8

I totally agree. The robotic arm and DataTrace both are the potential tickets to big success. I would have loved to have bought in the 20's, and think you have been fortunate.

Though I have bought some shares recently, I do have some concerns. I wonder how close they are on to a committment on the robotic arm simply because the PR's appeared to present it as ready and being presented to two major European auto manuf. back in 3/18/05...then as being launched in Sep-Oct, 05 and most recently as having an 'applicator' ready only in recent months. So...It's not clear to me exactly how the robotic arm has been marketed NOR how long it has been ready or semi-ready. As such, though the recent interview comments are very enticing, I am somewhat concerned that this may take a while to announce anything more than a small pilot trial..dunno..hope I'm wrong.

Re DataTrace...wow. Again, bit potential and I am hopeful, but there too I wonder if we might have to wait a while. I wish we knew also the dollar amount attached to the polymer customer in Australia. Is it too a small pilot trial?

IF big contracts announcements are still a ways off, I am a bit concerned because of the seeming low growth rate of the traditional business--that it may not be able to run profitably yet though the recent qtrs have been improved....however the China funding (see today's annoucement) may keep them from having to go to market to raised more funds. As such, I wish we knew more about this China distributor relationship..oh well, money is money as long as it is coming in.

I've sent the company some questions about these things and some others, so hope to hear back from them soon...
