Bob, A couple of comments. First of all, all the people that get computers for Christmas won't get Peter Norton also because "they" can figure out Windows 95. The ones that figured wrong will be in the store about New Years! :) Ok, what is my take on Peter Norton, well first of all I don't think this is a flash in the pants product. I believe it is a longer term, steady revenue producing product. Sure there are parts of the product that help the user with Windows 95, but the whole program isn't centered around that area. In addition what does Windows 98 really change? I have heard that the majority of the Windows 98 upgrade is really a maintenance upgrade. Now I don't know if that is true (Bob, you might be able to enlighten us ??). If this is true though it might not be too troublesome to modify it for Windows 98 and repackage it for Windows 95/98 or whatever makes sense. I was hoping for a Thanksgiving release of PN, doesn't look like that will happen. I do think they need to have the product in the stores two weeks before Christmas though. Not only will we get some Christmas sales, but also give us investors some physical evidence of the companies goals being realized..meaning the start of the turn around towards profitability. I was surprised on the menction of Media Manager being completed. Since there was a news blackout on this product, I had written it off as being delayed or having some serious problems. Big Brother might have slipped a bit also, don't have my notes in front of me, but I though it was due in Q1. The loss for the quarter is expected. No big deal there. The forth quarter should be a loss as well. This works out well for us, Q1 of the next financial year is expected to be profitable, so that all losses are lumped together in this years financials. Any other ideas or opinions out there? Tim
