Andrew,

I guess the website unavailability has caught on the attention of the members of this thread. With all the attention PROG is getting with the press releases on Friday it is a shame that they have to bring down the site to update the content. I wish they had atleast left a url pointing to a mirror site so that all the folks who are doing their DD this weekend could at least look at the old content. I not impressed with their upgrade process to say the least.

A press release before tomorrow morning touting the updated website would help. In fact it might get them a mention on CNBC in light of the fact that the sock was up 40% on Friday.

I am long PROG and hold no position in DRIV or any of PROG's other competitors. I feel they all have run up too fast and will correct severely in the next down turn. However, as I have stated in my earlier posts I do like DRIV's business model and strongly believe, as others have stated in their recent posts, in the future of ESD. The broadband connectivity will take care of itself in the coming years. In fact, my opinion is that a large number of PROG's customers (the developer community) are already connected to the net via broadband. I for one, use a T3 connection from work and and an ISDN from home to access the internet. I'd like to get the thread's feel for this.

As I have stated in my earlier posts, building an alliance with one of the big boys will go a long ways to bring attention to this company.

Long PROG.
