Well that didn't take very long. Another product that claims to take a stream of bits and magically transform them (naturally without any deleterous effects) into better bits. I love it! And best of all this PFM will only cost you a few hundred dollars.

This reminds me of many projects when all the signs were pointing to a late, over-budget project but the project manager was still reporting a successful completion on-time. It was another PFM moment - we did not see in the project manager's report his or her anticipation of "another miracle". Of course, the over-run would always exceed a few hundred dollars.

Is the profit on a product like this exceedingly high? You know, like I heard Coca Cola makes most of their profit from selling pure bottled water.

We live in interesting times!
