RE:Bids I wouldn't hold them to any kind of a timeline (two weeks) regarding their first customer. I doubt they would announce it any event. They will quietly go about their business inviting potential suitors to view the results and get feedback as to what direction to take the final product. The prototype I'd imagine is very crude, simply to demonstrate that the fundamentals are working. There is still lots of design works left.....and money required to get there. Still, it appears we are moving forward. I think it will be some time before we hear anything on the lumisort front although much will be happening with it in the background. jmho
