I need some help here... I'm writing an e-mail to Seymour, and would appreciate someone digging up the links to: 1) The report on the side-by-side comparison of MP3, EPAC, A2B, etc. codecs that was posted a while back (It was on a discussion group thread at some university or something like that) 2) the closing price on the day we hit $3.70. I seem to remember closing above 3 more than once. 3)Wendy's e-mail re EDIG's INTC order dwarfing the Lanier contract. I intend to challenge Seymour's accuracy (That ought to rattle him if he's a pro) on the following points he made: A. But its big play is in digital music, as e.Digital moves toward the first mainstream non-MP3 portable digital music player. B. The stock spent much of last year wobbling around under a dime, started warming up in mid-April of this year and nudged up near 3 in late May. C. I don't think anyone's going to be able to tell the difference between, say, perfectly-OK-level MP3 playback on a device like the wildly popular Diamond Multimedia ..... and playback through the highly touted e.Digital device-to-be. D. players, almost by definition, never have enough memory for even one lean-and-mean file for each song. Indeed, the biggest complaint from buyers about Diamond's Rio is that it doesn't have nearly enough memory and thus can't hold as many tunes as customers want. If anyone thinks there are other distortions worth challenging, please post your thoughts. Also, why no mention of the well-received demo at PC Mag's Editor's Day bash. Was Seymour not present; seems like I read somewhere that he was. I'm not certain, but something doesn't smell quite right here. Tinroad
