Hello Paul: - I remember chatting with you a year or two ago, when NOVL was fighting to become a teenager. I have been out of the stock for most of that time, re-entering when it dropped from the 30's into the mid 20's. alas, i was a bit early. I have seen the stock struggle in the upper teens, and once again the spectre of the big bad microsoft overhung NOVL. Now, the stock seems on the verge of a move back to the mid 20 s and perhaps beyond. glad to see it and glad to see you've kept the faith. here's an interesting 3 year weekly chart: iqc.com larry
