Let me recap David Collins to REM55
As it reads: beginning...
....Here is David's polite response FWIW.
Great questions Ron.
As you might imagine, there is little that we can say about this consortium at this time. As you know, we do have a relationship with IBM. We have not spoke of the other named companies in a any public forum and we"ll keep it that way until such time as there is material development (i.e. signed contracts, etc.). This is the appropriate disclosure standard.
Certainly what they are talking about sounds very much like what Wave is doing, particularly the specific i/o reference. We'll have to leave it there for the time being. Again, we promise to announce material developments as they become definitive; until that time, we'll have to leave things in the more generic place of "we are making headway with the OEM community and management is very confident in its prospects to secure an OEM relationship..."
Thanks for your support. Don't touch that dial.
Regards.
David Collins .... end
MY TAKE (and some tangents)
The financial media to which we so slavishly refer is by and large just looking for good copy. They've got dead lines to print something. The CONSORTIUM mentioned is a bag of jello. The Stock Market is a Poker Game. The very sort of gambling J. Reno says is illegal on-line is already on-line. Janet, Dammit! It's us! Actually, Vegas is a more honest place than Wall Street. Your casino card dealer makes a far more honest living than most the people you call at investor's relations. We are fortunate to have David. Let's not piss our britches over what we see coming forth from the financial media. The media has its "business." Agitprop. Its affects are the providence of "investors" whose profits are derived in the action of day trading. Remember, the more media minded you become, the less intelligent you are.. even if you sound smart with all your charts and graphs to some people.
In short, the "consortium" is a loose, media generated fabrication. David can't comment on it for that reason.... Our "reward" will come and some of you will be able to tell your present employers who hold you in the grip of their job security's insecurity to shove it!
David is cool,
Just for fun and Bless you all, Marty
