Hi Timna, have you received Accent's 10-K in the mail yet? I read it on Edgar, but reading it again reinforced the potential of this company. The WebTamer product sounds amazing and, since its based on Java, I assume I'll be able to run on my Mac. I've been quite disappointed that I can't run Internet with an Acccent as it has only been released for Windows. As part of WebTamer, Accent is incorporating its "Internet Request Time Compression Technology" to allow the browser to automatically download to the background pages marked. I wonder if the "Time Compression Technology" has uses in other applications such as video conferencing, where compression of data is critical for the growth of the industry? Of course, Accent needs to stay focused on its primary streams of revenue -- the company wasted so much of the money from the IPO on its failed retail marketing efforts. Plus, I'd like to know if Accent is making any money from WebTamer. The future of the company seems based on the Global Development Kit.

It was nice to see Accent's units stay over $2 a share at the close of the week. I hope this week the common shares will do the same. Volume was sparse though on Friday. Many software and internet related companies, albiet more established companies, have bounced back (a bit in the last 2 weeks). Hopefully some attention will be turned to Accent, but I doubt there will be much short term improvement in the price of Accent's common shares absent new product or partnership news. Of course, when that happens, the share price could jump 1/3 in value in an hour.

Off topic, as you've become my Israeli technology source, do you have any knowledge of Top Image Systems (TISAF)? Here is a link to its latest quarterly earnings report: biz.yahoo.com

Congratulations on the performance of TCNOF this week! I was thinking of jumping in at the $25 range when small techs started to rally. Before I knew it, it jumped over $29. I couldn't afford to buy that much so it's not the worst thing that I didn't get in.

Thanks for your insight,

Steve
