KIS...We're gonna hold you to that Friday prediction. We appreciate the input, but please note any opinion that it is simply your opinion. If you actually DO have some info for us, by all means feel free to share your source and back up your claims. Thanks, Coach

In keeping it Simple. Speaking for myself and maybe for a few others.All of the true believers in this company and this technology are here for the long term.I plan on keeping all my shares.I have a very small cost basis in this stock. But a real terrific feeling knowing I am involved with the technology and infrastructure build-up of tomorrow. cheers and happy trading :-) d.a p.s. Does anyone on the thread remember the journalist that wrote the apology about bashing XLA and the Vics a few months ago.That wasn't Byron was it ? also a post from YAHOO--- >Response from Alex re: Byron by: whysoitenly 4/26/00 8:37 am Msg: 59116 of 59315 > > I just read the article and it is a classic Chris Byron, he does this hatchet job to everybody. My immeadiate specific reactions to the article are as follows; 1. He gets his facts wrong. Makes mistaken comments to suit his purposes without knowing anything about what actually happened. 2. Xcelera has only issued a small fraction of the press releases that our main competitor Akamai has. Akamai for that matter isn't any older than Mirror Image and has had an even greater price appreciation from its founding. Most of the press releases are important and required by securities law to be issued whether we want to or not. 3. He, of course, says that Mirror Image can't be worth anything and naturally neglects to point out that Exodus, the world leader in Internet Infrastructure, just paid $ 638 Million for 15% of Mirror Image and will sell our services to all their customers, the who's who of the Internet. One would think that the most important current fact about our company would be mentioned by a responsible journalist who is discussing valuation. Some people like ourselves and others have been fortunate enough to start and build small companies into huge successes. He could have written the same article about Microsoft, Sun, Worldcom a few years back. How are a bunch of guys going to challenge IBM, the phone companies and others and succeed? 4. Hewlett Packard bought both shares and convertible debt with conversion prices as high as $ 143.38 per share and Xcelera under certain circunstances has the option of triggering the conversion of that to all equity if it so chooses. They are our partner. 5. VBI Corporation has bought and sold securities in Xcelera for a net effect that is very small relative to its holdings. Xcelera, I would suggest has had a very low amount of insider selling compared to other companies. In fact, as far as I know, nobody in a management position has sold any stock which is amazing considering how well the company has done. 6. The article, including the comments about being domiciled in the Cayman's(which is good for the shareholders) was generally a rehash of all the negative comments that people have made from the begining. People said all of this a year ago when the stock was a lot lower. This was essentially a rerun of the CNBC interview with Mark Haines. Alex Vik

Hey "Simple"... I really hate to be a picker of nits, but if you're going to be so dense as to make nitwitted statements as you did in post #411, you need to be called on it. It's post market on Friday and XLA was not halted. I don't know what your intent was with the prediction (humorous or serious)but if you're going to slam the stock please back it up with some documented info (other than Byron's article). Thank you for your interest in our financial well being.
