sigmass,
Friend to friend, I have to tell you that it's time to bury the hatchet in this crusade against GMTC, tgs59 and Shaquapa. I used to think like you, maybe even more passionately than you, that Gametech was an evil, lurking enemy who was working against AGTI. I don't know how long you have followed the AGTI thread here on Silicon Investor, but this goes way back to mid-1997 and many months following. There was a poster named "Anthony Richards" who claimed to be an AGTI shareholder but who seldom had one good thing to say about the company. I convinced myself that he must therefore be working "for the enemy" and proceeded to taunt and slam him at every opportunity. Problem is, he was right.
Now I look back shamefully and I realize that, whether Anthony Richards was an AGTI shareholder or not, his criticizms of AGTI's management were completely on target. The comments posted by tgs59 are also on target, and so are those of Shaquapa. The truth is the truth, sigmass. Gametech isn't AGTI's enemy. A competitor, yes, an enemy, no. You want to know the real enemy of AGTI's long term shareholders? Try a few names like Silzer, Lakhani, Hunziker -- they did far more to lose lots of my money than anything GMTC could ever do. I can't begin to tell you how many promises were made to me about AGTI's pending success. Not a single promise was kept, and I do mean not even one. Meanwhile, I poured my hard-earned income into the company, helping to pay the salaries and perc's for those incompetent crooks.
Lash out at me if you will, but I now see the past very clearly. I'm a little hazy on the future, but the past is quite clear. If you want to aim your anger and frustration in a better direction, I suggest that you call Bob Hunziker. Silzer and Lakhani are gone, so far as I know, but Bob is still there. Go ahead -- ask him about the Sonic Bingo project, ask him about the status in England, ask him about profitability "next quarter", ask him if he still thinks the stock will be trading in the $1-4 range anytime soon, ask him how many units are working in the field, ask him about successes in Texas, ask him about the pending financing agreement, ask him about new developments with Prism, etc, etc, ad nauseum...
While you're at it, ask him if he wishes to help me figure out some way to rebuild my kids' college funds.
Sorry for butting in, but you and I picked the wrong pony in this race. AGTI is history in my opinion. My shares are worthless, just like yours. If GMTC can succeed and capture this huge potential market, then more power to them.
