<< Do you think Microsoft is about to make an announcement? (or maybe people just got tired of running up WSTL, ADTN, AMTX, and the other networkers...)
Here's to hoping for a breath of fresh air and that the interest lasts more than a couple of days...

PS. Where'd you find the info on Win 98 and the imminent victory in the GI suit? >>

I actually said that I hoped that microsoft would make a press
release of its arrangement/licensing of $10 mil. with sght. I
don't expect any such release in the near future, since

a>gmstf is comparitively small and the patent license agreement
relatively obscure
b>win 98 aint out yet.

The situation would change when 10^7 TV+ units are in the field,
gmstf is getting ad. revenues based on its installed base AND
microsoft would want to be a "me too".

My observation/hope of GI "imminent victory" was based on its similarity with Scientific
Atlanta suit that gmstf won(a few months ago) and which netted
gmstf $20 mil.

and congratulations where making mucho dollaro in a *dead*
market. :))
