Hey Rod, are you planning to explode as an extra fireworks for the new Millennium start? Why are you so excited? I know you were frustrated a year ago, didn't it wear out? I learned that time heals.. The source of your frustration being so much alive still, you can surely provide us with more founding for your accusations? Why is it you call Corel Draw and WordPerfect Suite Bloatware? I am a very satisfied user of WP suite 8. I use almost every available feature. I think all the available functionality is useful. If you don't agree, why? Don't you agree ALL versions of Microsoft suites are much worse to use? And if not, why? Do you think Star office is better than WP suite 8? Why? I know you can write better content than you did. Please? Eveline

Please don't hold back, tell us what you really think. <ggg> What I find interesting in all of this largely non-discussion about Corel, is the many ways investors could have played Corel as a stock. Let's not forget that in Canadian funds the low was something like 2 or 3 dollars and the highs were $ 64 (approx 2000%). So how ever much people bitch and moan about Dr C and his goldbreasted plate wife Marlen and his life style and his this and that, blah blah blah (lots of jealously going on as far as I am concerned from a repressed investing middle class as far as I am concerned), fortunes could and have been made going long and short on this stock many times over. I should say I am currently not in COR (but have been) but I am interested in the dynamics of this thread. Why on earth is Thomas Watson, an Applix touter and Corel basher, wasting any time on this thread? It doesn't appear he really wants to advance any debate on anything. Just some thoughts that were on my mind. Olga <<<Cowpland is to be congratulated for continuing to dupe the press and the public and keep this little CD-burning operation alive -- well, shrink-wrapping and CD-burning company. He's playing the media and they're going along. I keep waiting for somebody to stop and actually notice that Corel is for all intents and purposes a total non-event in this industry. This flat-broke, emaciated little rat is running on the fumes of borrowed cheese and getting away with it. Go Corel!!!>>>
