Thank you, much appreciated, and indeed, much as I hoped/expected (in
a GOOD way).

*) It looks like a non-corporate startup, with family connections.
And why not. 

*) It's looking to address many of the gaming issues I'm aware
of (and I'm not even a gamer, well not since MTREK on RSX anyway).
It's planning to do so in part using tried tested and proven
technology which will be novel to many of the industry 'players'
(if you'll pardon the expression).

*) Someone somewhere has understood the importance of PR, marketing,
whatever you wish to call it. Sometimes it's unavoidable.

Good start.

Once again, best of luck to you all.
