>Your scrutiny has been fun to observe. I'm glad to hear that I have given you some enjoyment. Hopefully it also gives you more justification for owning the stock than that of "it's so low it can't go any lower..." >...Suite 8 is a better value than Office 97... You Corel boosters are dreaming if you think Suite 8 is going to make a significant dent in Office 97. This has been hashed over so many times in basic discussions of software economics - Office 97 is entrenched, has more features than anybody needs, and is not just the market leader, but controlled by the market leader. Do you really believe "...that the faster program loading, more responsive screen redraws, less memory and hard drive consumption will make Suite 8 the Suite of choice"? This sort of stuff is so esoteric that you make me worried whether Suite 7 users will upgrade. >The downside risk is minimal and the upside potential is > nothing short of exhilirating. Actually I would say the downside risk is about $1-$2/share, and the upside about $5-$10, not exactly "exhilirating".
