This is all really great and exciting news Scott...!
Things have been quiet here recently - what a great thread to start new activity...;c) I for one feel a sense of relief when I hear news like this. And to hear you are also working on the envelope chips is just the cream on the cake!
Thanks for your update sir.
Cheers,
TOM
