Ah, whew! Ok, that is good to hear. I was feeling a bit hurt about that. But I'm okay now. Glad to hear from you and nice to meet you. :-)

BTW I really like the eyes in your last video there ;-)

Thanks.

Yes, I agree but only partially. Flashing is required to get rid of buildup, fully agreed. But I believe quality grayscale is achievable without flashing as I show in this Fennec on E-Ink video (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4WBdagDgSg ) The driver and/or the frontend application can both make a runtime determination whether to use a full flashing update mode or a non-flashing mode. In the demos that I've been doing, I've found that buildup is minimal, so a full flash after every 200 iterations of activity (would be better if I was doing flash based on every 200 iterations of significant content change) is sufficient to achieve good 16-level grayscale.
