RE: what is this all about
-----
I assume you mean, what does the company do?
Let's say you want to build a product. It would be very expensive to actually build it to see if it works. It would be much cheaper if you could simulate it and trouble shoot it that way. It would be greater still if to do this you didn't actually have to write the code yourself. You could use object oriented tools, and the code would be generated for you.
In extremely lame terms, I believe sorta what the core business of EIM is about.
But this even what interests me most.
If you go to livemanuals.com you can see a few examples of items that have been modeled for the consumer market. This type of modeling could be a big help to company's customer support divisions. If that Nokia phone just won't do what you want it to, a site like livemanuals could cheaply help walk you through fixing the problem. You wouldn't need to be put on hold, and Nokia wouldn't have to staff the support dept. as heavily.
In addition, you could try out that phone, along with other models, to see which one suits you best. A virtual store of sorts. They have several big clients lined up already. I have heard that ZDnet is going to do some of this.
Management has a few big guns on board, also. You may see that Mr. Roach, who has been a leader at Tandy, is on the board now.
I am excited about this company and don't think it would take much to send it flying. The float is small. Just look at what it has done already, and there are only about 4 posts on this thread!
Somebody set me straight on my explanation if needed, but I'm long, long, long.

BTW, I think there was a blurb about them in Newsweek last week. |
