As of Monday March 27, those comments of mine are really no longer true.
Facts:
	Microport has filed chapter 11
	All of the technical staff (Tech support, Engineering) is gone
		(either other jobs or other job offers)
	The major buyer I hinted at in an earlier posting has backed out
		(because the technical staff wasn't staying on)

	But the company IS still in business.
