Same old crap on conference call.

Why does a company that outsources machine production still have $21MM of inventory on hand? Apparently this is old inventory that is probably overstated. People were threatened with their jobs if it didn't get down to Abe's expected level of approximately $12mm. Apparently nobody wants the inventory otherwise they would have moved it by now.

What did 3D spend $3mm on PP&E on in 2008? Are they moving inventory back and forth between PP&E again?

Does the VFlash have a positive gross margin yet? Do costs exceed the sales price? If they sell this through resellers how are they going to make money?

If blue-chip customers are going bankrupt, how can they expect any sales? Multiple Modeler sales can't make up for a large frame sale.

Did you notice that the tax related gain makes up $0.05 per share of the earnings. If not for that, net income would have been worse than last year.

2009 is going to be a dog. Q4 may be decent, but I don't expect anything good through that time. Q1 and Q2 are typically "cash" burners. Due to the economy, I question the collectability of the receivables, and I doubt sales through these two quarters will alleviate the cash contraction.
