I'm with you, I would love to see some good press come out of the current shows.

A couple thoughts here: Dave Gurgel has continually made some very valid points in regards to the maintenance of the General Magic web site. If you can't go to the source for current up to date news regarding the development of the company where can you go?

I find myself more than a little intrigued by the fact that the last two news releases of significant import have yet to be posted at the GMGC website...

1) Wednesday December 8, 1:54 pm Eastern Time
Company Press Release
General Magic Names Young & Rubicam myTalk Advertising Agency of Record

2) Wednesday January 5, 4:32 pm Eastern Time
Company Press Release
OnStar's Chet Huber Joins General Magic Board of Directors

For the life of me I can't find this info anywhere on the General Magic website...

genmagic.com

I can think of a few possible reasons;

- A new website is on the way, to be unveiled soon

- General Magic is so consumed with operations that web site maintenance is now a "low " priority

- buyout/merger scenario is credible

For the life of me I just can't understand how a company could sign a new multi million dollar contract with an industry powerhouse public relations firm, and fail to post news on their own website.

If anything this company keeps things interesting, but these are a few "little" details I could do without. I for one will be contacting investor relations for some answers in the very near future...

Not complaining here and still very positive, but a little at a loss understanding "why"

Have a great weekend,

JM
