If you are saying that at 3 bucks per share, Fuller at the helm, and no Linux connection INPR was a no brainer investment; you are either very foolish or incredibly loyal.

Of course it was a no brainer. Liquidation value was much higher than $3, and the thing was a going-concern. Sometimes it is easy to forget that software technology has substantial value on the open market.

There are two reasons I continue to invest in INPR. First, I frequently make a little money off of it by selling and buying in for less; and secondly, because the software technology is fundamentally good. As long as the technology is good, it has some value to someone. So you never have to worry about losing your investment.

As to "bankruptcy", the company was further from bankruptcy at 3 this past year than it was when it traded at 12 a couple years ago. The company is reasonably healthy at this time. But with Linux taking off the way it has, INPR is a better buy today at 12 than it was a few months ago at 3. So I just bought some more.

Will we see 9 again? Maybe. But I'm confident the company is on the cusp of something really good. But I just can't see how anyone resisted to buy at 3. I just wish I'd had more cash available...
