X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700 We should meet after Don gets back. I haven't looked at the provisional patent form yet, so I don't know if we need to list all of the inventors yet, but I want to make sure everyone is covered on ideas they helped develop. I also want to make sure we get all of the ideas we think are patentable described. BTW Don, the lawyer advised me to do as extensive a search as I can before filing the real patent. He said with the cost of preparing and filing so high, there's no sense filing if you don't have a chance to get it.
