That's what I thought too, have to keep an eye an the east (China), you know Corel went down after this deal was made, maybe no one likes the look of INPR. We maybe better off with out them, the only money they have is because of a law suit. You will see them line up if things brake in China.

How does telling the press you've "inked deals with Compaq and Toshiba" for Corel Linux and that you will soon release versions in up to "25 languages" build trust? Those public comments were made last November and nobody has seen hide nor hair of this since. Where are all the revenues from that Corel Linux channel stuffing festival? Too many returns? What we're seeing is nothing more than the same pattern repeated over and over again for the benefit of naive new retail investors. They are either unaware or dismiss the historical failure of this company to deliver after pump pieces are released to the press. Given the irreparable damage this has done to Cowpland, why does it continue? Just who is cashing in on this annual crash and bounce activity? It takes about a year or so to recharge but just when enough suckers have lined up, he pulls the release. Next thing you know the stock pops then crashes back down after reality sets in. JC has only hollow words to offer in defense. Another empty promise that things will be different from now on. What a crock that is.
