Hi Viper85730

Thank you for your post. I truly believe that you are concerned for me and the others that are still holding onto General Magic.

I find forums such as this interesting. It gives complete strangers a chance to gather together and share ideas and opinions. It is funny, when you think about it. Maybe we have just looked beyond the technology and take it all for granted but the truth is - we are just that - strangers. If I walked by you or rangle or Kurt or Mark on the street I would have no idea who you were. But, here I sit communicating to you on a daily basis. I find it all so odd at times.

Anyway, General Magic is not in my retirement portfolio. I bought it over a year or so ago strictly speculating.

I realize that I am "not the Captain of the ship" and that I have no control over the management at General Magic. I am an entrepreneur. I know how hard it is to start a business and even more difficult how to continually make money in one.

Sometimes when you stick things out in life the rewards are great.

This is all - FWIW.

I am trying not to take offense to your post - I get the feeling that you are trying to tell me that you are much smarter than me. And you know what? You probably are. I may regret staying with General Magic or I may not. As investors we must make our own decisions.

I do hope that we can continue the forum in a productive way without criticizing each other for what we believe. I respect your opinions and choices and I hope that you resect mine.

Straight Up
