I too have been looking at the stock for a while (I owned it a year or so ago and made good money off it). However, don't be mislead by the 14.25 shareholder figure. If you take a close look at their financial statements, you'd see that they currently have around $71 million in inventory, among other things. Technology companies often have to write-off obsolete inventory, so much of that $71 million could go away (theoretically).

I'd be curious if you have any comments on their financial strength. I am definitely not an expert at reading financial statements.

btw: don't take my statement wrong..I'm also looking at accumulating some shares at these levels.
