"Seems Mr. Weisburg has done an about face..." Wow!!! wouldn't it just be totally wacko if instead of contemplating a massive polemic etymological public relations manipulation/conspiracy--he might just be telling the truth?? :)))

Chisy Weinburg spoke out in response to someone questioning his "humble" stance in public. Remember, this guy came from an accounting firm where chest-thumping is not the usual method of communication (methinks). So he said that Unisys is on the mend, that he'd be prudent and reduce/wipe-out the debt instead of a stock buyback, and that Unisys is now firmly integrated in the new economy. He talked positively about the Technology side. Y2K had been bad, but I don't think we'll see another Y2K anytime soon. Approx. 15% of Unisys revenues are from Uncle Sam, and some big number from Banking. These industries are extremely conservative when it comes to data processing. Banks got to -- deep pockets + too many lawyers. He also mentioned a huge order backlog in the service area, but - watch Mr. Prudent - emphasized that it takes time to recognize such revenues. He didn't seem interested in pumping the stock up. As a long-term investor, I appreciate that. I have purchased UIS stock off and on, since it was 2 1/4, so I am pleased with my investment returns. But, then, a few bucks here and there I really don't care as much as someone who bot at say $20. B2B requires a lot of hardware and software. Slapping together a website is but a small part of the game. Just an Apache server and a NT/SQL7 box in a rack at some ISP doesn't really cut it. All in MHO. Do your own DD before making your investment decisions. -Dinesh
