Veiko and Leo;

Just an observation from a techy not necessarily in the DB business. You have discussed that ForeSite by Centura's admission was not a significant contributor of revenues. However, Centura spends marketing dollars to push ForeSite as a product offered by Centura.

Centura has recently been cutting costs dramatically(I'm guessing in an effort to stay solvent). Could Centura have come to the realization that ForeSite is a losing venture, and in an effort to reduce cost even more, the tough decision was made to dump this cash drain?

Do we know how much of Centura's expenses could be cut by dropping ForeSite?

It's getting hot in here.

Leo, do you consider this a sell? (Don't worry, Veiko, I know your position.)

The current estimate for this quarter in .18; that seems a bit wild. It was mentioned a few weeks ago that there are other analysts who are not included in the estimates due to short experience. What are their estimates?
