I agree, the results were decent and the conference call, upbeat. One thing I was impressed by was the reduction in the average number of days for receivables. From my recollection, they essential cut the average time in half. This demonstrates increased efficiency and good financial management. Lets hope they can keep that up.

Another notable was the results of the survey they did in conjunction with the JBuilder Foundation download. Only 6% of those that downloaded the program were existing JBuilder Customers. That's an incredible opportunity to gain some serious market share.

Mentioned that margins are improving in the professional services group due to the restructuring of how those contracts are marketed, sold and serviced. There was also a slight increase quarter over quarter. Not bad considering IT work was being put-off until after Y2k.

What were they writing down on the Scotts Valley Campus? Are they just adjusting the value on the books to the market value? I was wondering when they would use up the unexpended write-offs announced previously.

The one thing I was disappointed with was the lack of questions from analysts. What was up with that?

Did you hear Dale thank the people on the message boards for their support? Also, possibly a surprise to show off at next week's Linux expo. Let's hope its not another goofy "webvolution" thing..
