<..don't really know what to think of this secondary..>

Hi savolainen-

Fwiw, I had quite a few shares of it (there was a lot around) that I kicked ~flat when it couldn't do anything on a 200pt day.

<..don't know how closely you follow orctf..>

I keep up with xDSL, and somewhat with ORCTF, but not closely.

<..but their new cfo, aviv boim was previously an investment banker at bt alex brown..>

That makes some sense. Personally, I don't think Chris Crespi (one of BTAB's comm anaylsts) is all that plugged in.

<..so they should have had the expertise to weigh the pros and cons of
proceeding at this time ...>

Actually, I would be even MORE skeptical because of this. Paper Chinese wall and all <g>

<..am wondering if the 400,000 shares held back were from star? (as
opposed to founders tamir and paneth)..>

Didn't hear who. Probably whichever of the inside sellers was lower on the totem pole (since they barely found enough interest in the shares they DID price)

Good luck. Seems the market didn't care about the recent announcements, so don't know how long it holds in here, if other secondary buyers decide to exit.
