Maurice,
SSAX ought to hire you since you work 24 hrs a day. BAANF is overpriced by my
standards and in fact DLJ downgraded it on Fri just as Sal Sm Barn upgraded. Their
sales increase of 65 % is spectactular but they are moving into other areas and
acquisitions bolstered these figures. I believe fair value for SSAX at present is about 15
just based on .65 earnings and a 23% growth rate. It will get there for 3 reasons:

1. With Struek at the helm they will meet or exceed the 23% growth rate. Since they
have good products marketing and sales are vehicles for growth and I agree that IBM will be depending on SSAX to keep their sales up.

2. H&Q knows how important consistency in growth and visibility are to the stock
market. I'm sure they will make this point over and over again. This is essential for
upgrades.

3. Financials are under control and no longer creating "extraordinary expenses". Also the
pressure of getting loans such as the one from CA which created 3.6 million extra shares for 10 million bucks won't be happening. The company could actually buy some shares
back with its war chest which would be a good investment since the covertibles will be
exerciseable for $18. a share.
