Hey folks, I've been following Cornerstone for some time and have been reading with some amusement your postings. Since this is my first posting on this thread (I spend most of my time over on the Syquest thread), I'll try to be respectful. First you panic over an almost totally irrelevant (to CRNR) Kodak software announcement, then you act like the TWAIN standard just arrived on the scene to destroy Cornerstone. First off, CRNR is and will remain for the forseeable future a predominantly hardware company. They are reducing prices on much of their HARDWARE product line to try to appeal to the mainstream (as versus high-end CAD/CAM) marketplace. Secondly, the TWAIN interface has been a standard for a number of years already and I don't remember the last time I saw a scanner come out that didn't support the TWAIN standard. Even low-end manufacturers like Relisys have been supporting TWAIN since at least 1993.

I don't know why you guys are looking under rocks for reasons for CRNR to be doing poorly. The stock is weak for one simple reason: the long term outlook for growth in their bread and butter product line (high-end {read expensive} monitors and video/print accelerators) is not only limited, but likely to decline in the face of lower priced hi performance products. IMHO the threat to CRNR is coming from el cheapo hi performance 17/21 inch monitor manufactureres like Viewsonic and Hitachi, and hi performance video drivers like Matrox.

CRNR may eventually succumb to the vagaries of the marketplace, but it won't be because of some TWAIN vs. ISIS B.S.

Happy Investing,

Joe Reich
