Pete, looking over the press release, if they really do have $20M, and they burned through $7M in nine months, that would mean, if they continue to burn through cash at the same rate, with no revenues, they could last another two years. Also in the press release: biz.yahoo.com they state that GT Interactive will be licensing WeCanTalk 3.0 for the GT games. Now, why license from CSCC and not directly from INTC? If they are licensing from CSCC, they must have gotten a sweetheart of a deal. Since GT has been on the rocks as of late (they have been trying to sell the company for a few months now) it must have been a sweet deal, indeed. - Chris

I'm back..... Well, well. I expected it to remain flat in the mean time, but I certainly was wrong about hype. Today's "offset" press release could be titled "Chumbo Part II" $85,000? You have to be kidding. They really must be down to OEM only. And they delayed the 3.0 until next year? What the hell is that? Hausmann has the balls to come out and sound positive when he doesn't even have a product to sell in the next quarter? Not to mention they haven't come up with the "suite" of products that was promised earlier. If you can't figure out that Hausmann is a liar by now, you must think he is dumber than a post. Oh, and a news flash for Hausmann and his "unique" strategy: 1. $20 million is what MPATH, your smallest competitor, is spending on ADVERTISING AND MARKETING ALONE in the next 4 quarters. That probably is how they get users. 2. The only thing "unique" about this stategy is how it hopeless it is. 3. Delaying the product until right when MSFT promised me as a shareholder that Win2000 would be released. That means Direct X 8.0 with the full multi-point functionality built in is coming right with it, or soon after. Brilliant! Next: Centerspan Wordpad! BTW, Pete the Intel license was payed for with warrants, just like this new deal. Yes! Give that shareholder money away! Hausmann promised $1 million in pure marketing and something to be "proud of" in the last CC. Way to deliver guy! The only question now is will the short sales be over 75% of the float by the time they become a penny stock...
