Is anyone else concerned about the lack of a website for gmst? Although I am long the stock, and I believe in management, I wonder how shareholder focused the company really is. How visionary is the company if a website is not in place during these times? I can't think of another company, or organization that doesn't have a website. It's really disappointing and highly curious as to why this situation exists. I've read posts that the site will be created, but I believe it is inexcusable to not have one up & running. Someone is responsible for maintaining a semlance of modern technology. Whoever that person(s) is/are, they have failed miserably. Just my opinion, Respectfully, advalorem

Mike, I'm curious about that IBM announcement. Of the set-top boxes currently being manufactured, approximately what percentage of them use the Power PC as the micropocesor? This news is about a year old. I don't have a breakdown of the numbers and I suspect that Toshiba and others have their own processors. It is of little long-term consequence to Gemstar who manufactures the microprocessor, the OS used or who makes the cathode-ray tube. Regards Stew
