What concerns me about the $200 million in the channel is that it may be obsolete products or that pricing may have come down drastically. For example, Office used to sell for $99. Now Office 2000 is being given away. Similarly, NETA had a platinum version of Viruscan which sold for $79. Now AV pricing is falling through the floor. Depending on the products in the channel, NETA may have to take additional write-offs, unless they have already marked the prices down to market. In any case, Good Luck with NETA
