- Anjon & Associates is NOT in bankruptcy. In fact, their financial
- situation is better than ever. They are not only still doing business
- and destributing Will Vinton's Playmation, they are gearing up to

- He actually has quite a bit of business sense. Not only has he been
- putting a lot into doing a wide variety of high profile trade shows like

- important clients like Nintendo, PIXAR, Apple, and Microsoft. In fact,
- in 2 weeks they will have a booth at MacWorld.
