Ron et al:

Unlike CIC my short term trend is towards a family reunion in Victoria BC. Every 5 years or so my 2 freres and 1 soeur and loved ones get together and try and figure out what Mom and Dad did wrong!

On this occasion, the get together coincides with youngest brother Ron's (your namesake)--his 50th. Good gravy, I can remember when he was born in Calgary at 10 Repair Depot (Currie Barracks) and asking Judy and Ken--why and where did this screaming black haired (we were all Carrot Tops) thing come from? The answer, at the time, from my 'sharp as a tack' and beautiful, much younger sister Judy and sage older brother Ken was it was because of a western Canadian Chanook Wind--never sure what they meant. Must ask them again this time.

The market is rewarding income growth--looking back 8 years--we are emerging into the time for CIC/CERT. The number of deals, the ramp up of wireless, the Palm launch success, the signing bonus potential income from the many deals, etc etc--The income just has too start appearing one of these Q's. If management can show it--Bingo.

Now , whether it is this Q or the next 1 or 2Q's--well, we shall see.

I'll try and stay in touch--but Brother Ron believes computers are for storing bus routes and Italian food recepies.

Meanwhile, keep your eyes out for a new participant on SI--CIC and other pages--"Bocabear"-- a wise and scholarly type who has seen a lot, understands a lot--and is not as cynical as I am.
