>> Funny European Gemstar Homepage For anyone who doesn't understand German, here's a translation courtesy of AltaVista (another good portal, Apollo): Who is Gemstar Europe?

Funny European Gemstar Homepage Many posters over the last year and on various threads have complained about Gem's "home page" and a need for a more astute "public relations" department. This is the website in question, I believe: gemstar.co.uk When I took a look at the "funny one" you posted and saw the "email response" link, I gave in to my need to vent (gg) and did just that by writing them a "complaint", FWIW as a small voice crying in the wilderness perhaps. It is indeed strange that they seem so insensitive to graphically communicating what they are all about to shareholders, the public, etc. back to lurk, with thanks for great posts and a great educational venue. Long on GMST rudy
