Our investment has done quite well ... ;-) I'm not too concerned with the future yet ...

Compression and decompression *can* be implemented in hardware.

IMHO, investing in RNWK should not be done purely on a technology basis. John Katz in Wired Magazine stated something like "Attention will be the currency of the future!" ... and currently RNWK has attention. Much of the power of internet related stocks has nothing to do with the actual technology or implementation, but rather on the number of users and "eyeballs" using the product. The future of these companies (just like Yahoo) is based on their ability to bring together the producers of content with the consumers of content ... and RNWK is doing a good job of that! Content is king ... but Context is Queen! RNWK has a good bit of both ..

> Thank you.
