Jungle Cat, Do you know what prompted the upward move today? The only new information I can find on the company this month is a press release dated the 24th (see below) on the company's web page which mentions they have become a distributor of the "Tarantella Enterprise II" software. Do you think that is why the stock has been moving up the last couple of days?
