Nothing is more powerful than an idea who's time has come. I first bought ODIS in 1996 shortly after learning about ObjectStore and was prepared to be patient. It's taken four years for the world's needs to catch up to EXLN's technology but that's OK. If you look at a long-term chart for ORCL, they were public for over five years before starting their ascent. I doubt if EXLN holders will mind the wait if EXLN's chart over the next ten years starts to resemble ORCL's over the last decade. The need for object databases must grow as business infrastructure is recast into XML. As George Gilder likes to remind us, if we "listen to the technology" we'll seldom go wrong in the long term.

The Evans Data research is at evansdata.com It says that 64% of database developers expect to be using OO database technology 3 years from now. Some people might be inclined to think that shows an opportunity for ObjectStore. How many developers expect to be using B2B in three years? It obviously can't be more than 100%, so I'm not sure why B2B is such a slam-dunk compared with ODBMS. <off topic>BTW did you catch the Olympic opening? I liked it.</off topic>
