Ahh, I see. Thanks man, that makes more sense. If I'm not mistakin when the contract was to be ratified, the company made the request that we will start to work in the process of implementing PBS something in the time frame of 6mos after the DOS. Kind of one of those "handshake" deals. Yeah, we all know where the company goes with those "handshake" deals that work against us. Hope we are in no hurry to get this one up and working.
