Calvin, I rue the day I ever spotted this one breaking 10 with gusto and read in Byte magazine that it was the next Microsoft. You know know I should have quit when I posted this one...but I always had high hopes.

Look at the date August 4 1996

Rick,
We are talking money here, widows and orphans and the like. You must offer more reason to hope than a low price. QDEK rose on an earnings turn around to the plus column. It crashed on lowering margins and then a return to the negative column.
Unless management can come up with new products, or better upgrades, this company is going no where this year and maybe ever. Microsoft gives things away for free. That kills competition. When the competition is dead Microsoft charges for upgrades and technical support.
That being said, there is hope that QDEK can consolidate its aquisitions and come out with some excellent suite type products. A 2nd generation WebCompass would be a plus. A Memory manager that improves speed would also help. Rumor has it that the MagnaRam beta has shipped and is fast. We shall see.
Jesse
