Hmm, I only remember FATB as good short on its frequent spikes. techstocks.com ... Also looks like the insiders have little attitude towards holding the stock: biz.yahoo.com although some dump only in homoeopathic doses. Is there anything what makes the stock a compelling story. Pls, enlighten me, maybe I want to hold then... I'm especially interested in dry(e) matter. IS

As a potential e-matter customer, I would have several concerns. The first question comes when I read this statement " When the document is unlocked, it is permanently registered to that computer." What if I have a hardware problem and loose the hard drive? What if I want to read the document on my laptop (no internet connection) after downloading on some other PC? Also, PDF is not the most user friendly format for reading documents. Browsing e-matter, I found a few free documents to try out, try putting future or technical into the search parameters, some are word documents but most are PDFs. To make this thing fly, they need a better viewer technology IMO. The old wordperfect Envoy product worked a little better as I remember. On the plus side, I could see this as a great tool in the academic area, for professors pubishing course notes and study guides or for students who want to publish course-specific "cliff's notes".
