Actually, James, Chris and I have been speculating that CCUR and Ncube might work together on some projects. CCUR people in Atlanta a couple of years ago thought the ideal arrangement was for a "hub and spoke" layout. They didn't come out and say it but I got the impression that Ncube would furnish the hub, a large centrally located server, and CCUR (and maybe SEAC and Diva) would furnish the spokes, servers located near the users.

I wonder how Bill Gates got Corporate America to put a PC on every office desk instead of decentalized servers or a centralized mainframe. Novel trained thousands of admins on how to manage lan servers. IBM, HP and SUN make a lot of money training UNIX admins. Unisys has trained fewer admins (who would by a unisys machine today anyway except banks). Unisys I think said they need to sell 7000 streams to break even anyway. How come cable is in business anyway ? Why in the world would they replace copper with fiber ? Replace all analog with digital. DBS is centralized with millions of threads.

James, I was really impressed with CCUR today. Maybe we are closer to a bottom than I thought. Maybe it's the Tmrent indicator already at work. Really absurd with all the great news lately that this stock is at this price. Ken
