A lesson in BS fitting of a soon-to-be Bulletin Board stock after the delisting:

It has been a quarter of real progress...

OK, now how many more YEARS of progress before they sell anything?

... progress has yet to be reflected in ...revenue...

OK, they have left no stone unturned for YEARS and still have nothing to show for it. The only progress a company, whose product is already entering retirement age in net years, are revenues.

We are making good progress in the continuing roll-out to the Inacom and Data General channels, and have seen a heightened level of interest from potential technology partners in the computer and communications products area.

Well, we thought they "rolled out" the product a long time ago. What does a "heightened level of interest" mean? How dumb do they think we are? What "potential" partners?

We have also been making important strides in the development organization on future Be There! variants.

Oh, I thought they completed development years ago; now we see they are making "strides" back on the drawing board.

We are seeing increased levels of activity from Inacom Communications.

Is that like heightened activity? What a joke.

Over the past several months we expanded the roll-out of Be There! to Inacom's dealer network and quadrupled the number of Be There! trained representatives.

So, this complex training program for these warmed-over modems has been shown to 8 people instead of 2? Give us a break.

I am particularly gratified by the progress that DG has made in the financial services arena in the Northeast, both with their existing customers and with new opportunities for which Be There! has helped them open doors. I am looking forward to some resultant announcements.

They're happy with DG's results but what about Data Race? There they go again: new opportunities, helped open doors, looking forward to some resultant announcements. What opportunities? What announcements?

As George has increased the Company's focus on the indirect channel, the number of trial systems that we have had to fund has declined.

"Increased focus," now there's a good one. The number of trial systems has declined along with the need to fund them, excellent.

At the same time, George has brought closure to most of the early trials that we had had in the field for many months, terminating those with prospects that had not been adequately qualified.

Needless to say, "closure" does not translate to "sale" but then they had a month to craft this letter using crafty language.

These are impressive individuals, and we are pleased with their early indications of success.

What indications? Do they have a book on using vague language? There no success, only indications of success from some new-hires, great.

They have also produced new sales collateral material; including product sheets, pamphlets...

Wow, they must be kidding, unreal! Only 18 months after this latest incarnation's release? That's incredible. Must be a record of some sort.
