Poetically Stated Opt, I think you nailed it

                                                                            "Would you like to join my Fan Club?"

The PR gave CC a chance to show everybody his war wounds and relive the Glory Days. I believe these displays are for Light, Medium and Heavy Weapons Sights for USMC from Raytheon, Raytheon knows Kopin Drop-In modules. I believe more factors were at work then were revealed in the very petty verbiage of the PR. Principally the new procurement philosophy of pitting supplies against each other to curb costs and insure competition is in play, this is the macro view, no Kopin, no playing one off the other, like it or not Kopin will still be around for awhile unless Mattel buys them. In addition worries about supply chain and having one company with one line supplying every display I'm sure provoked some anxiety at the desks, we understand that. I hope the S-3 is intended to capitalize a new manufacturing line but as you say things in eManistan have a way of "staying in the future."
