Right! almost forgot.
those guys are really a hoot.
Totally threw out all previous form factors
and started from scratch.
Gotta love em.
I have a feeling that they will
either go bust;
or become the leaders in digital imaging
whether still or video.
Exciting times for imaging.

Fond regards,
George
