What really bothers me is that NCD is not making it clear that they've got a plan. That they know what the problem is or how to fix it. Okay, the problem is poor revenue numbers. How do you fix this? By cutting expenses? No. A worldwide agreement with HP is nice...but why should I think that HP is going out to the street to sell NCD products. I don't. HP is out to sell their own products (servers and PCs) and services. If the customer wants TCs, well they get them from NCD, of course. But who's going to be there to push NCD ThinPATH? Does HP really care if they sell ThinPATH vs MetaFrame?

Okay, I'm getting sidetracked. One general question I have is: Will NCD look to sell themselves, or will they try to make it on there own? If NCD sells themselves for $4, they better not come back and say "See. I TOLD you we'd increase shareholder value." And if they go it alone, can they find a symbiotic partner? Someone who needs NCD as much as NCD needs them?

If NCD could demonstrate that they at least UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I'd feel better.
