First the good news: It would not surprise me in the least if Steorn gets many companies to sign on the dotted line. Nothing venture... nothing gained. Once companies have paid their dues, one would imagine that they would be highly motivated to get a positive return on their investment. I wonder if we will be able to find out who signs up. I suspect most companies would prefer to remain anonymous. And now the bad news: Unfortunately for the rest of us who are languishing in the peanut gallery, I fear we will have to wait very VERY long time before anything of substance is revealed. I bet we are looking at many years of highly classified underground work. My fear is that should all R&D efforts fail (which seems to be the prevailing opinion these days. ;-) ), most companies would prefer try sweep it all under the rug. I suspect most might be inclined to feel embarrassed at having taking on such a controversial effort. I wonder what might be a reasonable period of time to wait before assuming everything was swept under the rug. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
