Matt... I don't believe there is anything of significance to report on the upcoming revenue front; nor should be there be. As I have stated previously, the commercial release of ZixMail does not infer that the systems would be in place during this quarter, and would therefore not produce revenues. I suspect that you are at least a couple of quarters away from seeing significant revenues derived from this system. If anyone is investing or trading ZIXI based on revenue or earnings figures over the next few quarters, I believe they are in the wrong stock. But then again, the only people that I honestly find calling for current revenue and earnings at the present time are the shorts, so it really is a bit of a moot point currently. If they are looking for a company that offers decisive encryption advantages over all platforms and has an existing state of the art infrastructure in place, a future increasing revenue multiple capable of putting it on every growth stock manager's radar screen very quickly, a group of very influential investors that have brought more to the table than just their wallets, and a company that may have the attention of some of the larger wire house analysts with potentially great research reports, and a vision of the future and strong grasp of current trends towards corporate and personal security needs in cyberspace...then they have found the right stock. Thanks BTW for your comments regarding the TA. I used to use it more when I traded in and out of other positions. I just never found it (although readily admit that some such as yourself may find it incredibly valuable) as useful in individual stocks as I did with overall market direction. Do you have access to the Dorsey Wright Point and Figure chart system? They used to be the best I had found in the point and figure discipline, and always seemed to get me in and out of the overall market at about the right times. Have a good weekend. The technology is the key...if you understand it. Enjoy the ride!
