DIMD has been basing over the last two months. If SIII keeps telling people why this deal makes sense, the stock may just break out. Printing $6 is a breakout, if it can make $6.5, the next resistance is at $8.5. BTW, I think all the electronics retailers reporting positive earnings bodes well.

P-Chase: Stop looking in the rear view mirror & focus on the road ahead. You seem to think that you & not the market have the keener sense of the road ahead for SIII. Granted, you are entitled to your own conclusions, but they are obviously in the minority. As far as your conclusion that SIII's statement is within the safe harbor of a forward looking statement typically found in the MD&A section of the 10-Q or 10-K, may I remind you that SIII's statement was a "preannouncement" of earnings expectations & does not necessarily fall within the safe harbor provisions that you appear to know little about. The intent of SIII's statement was to provide guidance to the Street, in particular the analyst community so that they may adjust their projections accordingly. Your conclusion of the prospects of any potential litigation on the failure of SIII to meet the expectations created by this statement is another "complete joke" if you believe that if SIII fails to perform that this statement would fall within a safe harbor provision & that every securities lawyer would be deterred by your conclusions. Give me a break. Notwithstanding any legal liability, the bottom line of my comment, which I obviously need to state more clearly to you, is why would SIII release such a statement unless it was confident that it could stand behind it. Are they a "complete joke" in your mind as well?

PaperChase, DIMD has been totally mismanaged from Day 1. I could have run DIMD profitably if I were CEO. Schroeder is a joke to the whole street,maybe the whole world. He couldn't run a hot dog stand wearing a g-string in Pompano Beach. He is a total schmuck,a total loser. Now Potashner is a real CEO and a turn around artist,he surely can make DIMD profitable. Sell of the multimedia division,focus the company on the G-Lite modems with NT,ditch the cable modem idea,they didn't even pass MCNS certification,and there are already 10 major manufacturers with MCNS certification. Focus on producing the best wireless home networking system in the world,better than Proxim's. Solidify the software and ease of use. Follow through on rebates,and on-line purchasing. Focus the company on service and response,and manufacture the best products in a select group of targetted markets,rather than just throwing tomatoes against the wall and hoping something sticks. Schroeder should never have even been a mid-level engineer,never mind a CEO. Hiram
