I thought you sold them the GCB-Goth Chicks in Black CMOS Sensor that caused 
Digital R Back to be delayed for so long because the SW was looking for more 
Zones that flour white skin tones and the darkest of night blacks?

Well, I might as well tell you, they've licened the Leica H technology from
me. They'll be buying them, in bulk, from me for about $45 and reselling
them (to y'all) for about $1200.
