Hey FUGAZI,

Remember your post #48 when you daydreamed of MS getting involved? You might be clairvoyant.

As a point of interest I point you back to this press release from last year:

"TORONTO, Oct. 22 /CNW-PRN/ - Mr. Nagy Moustafa, President, CEO and
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Diversinet Corp. (NASDAQ:DVNTF
and CDN: DVNT) announced today the appointment of Dr. Taher Elgamal
to the Board of Directors of the company.
Dr. Elgamal is the Chief Scientist at Netscape Communications Corp.,
involved in security, public-key infrastructure and electronic commerce
applications."

So the million dollar question is - Is Dr. Elgamal using his contacts at Netscape to secure a deal with Netscape or is MS seizing the opportunity to acquire technology they know is BETTER than anything Netscape has?

Actually I don't really care which one it is. They are both very big fish. AND who is to say that we can't have BOTH.
