JHP - Thanks for posting about divine (DVIN) Looks like it may have made a bottom.

Kind of risky, since thay have about 4 more quarters at present burn rate to either get sales up and/or cut expenses, but I think they will be able to get the burn rate down, then turn around.

The road kill products still have real customers, who either prefer the products or are locked in. Most of the customers who wanted to switch already left - so if they DVIN can provide updates, support, and extentions, they can keep and likely incraease revenue. Serena software had a similar strategy (so does Computer Associates, for that matter)and were able to do well. Many of these products were undermarketed, and may be easy to improve.
