This thread has gotten way off focus. The focus should be on the forest (ie. New Departure, software aquisitions). I think New Departure is by far the most important. Having said that, the software part shouldn't be overlooked. Even though the PR on New Departure aquisition didn't flat out say it, the software looks to me as a CSM (Component, Supplier, Management) solution. CSM is a rapidly growing/expanding market, as companies realize that CSM can save them time/money. This is what I think there product does (If it does they should present it like this): Example (in the Bearing industry): An engineer needs a bearing, but doesn't know the part # or Vendor. All he knows is that he needs a resistance between 3-5 ohms AND that the bearing must be of type X. The product will return all items that matched his criteria. The bearing could come from several different vendors, and it is then up to procurement (based upon pricing) to approve/purchase it. It also saves time because the engineer can determine if that part does or doesn't exist (if it doesn't then he has to create it). Maybe you particularly don't like one tree in the forest. Do you like the forest (MIDL) overall as an investment? What is your take on New Departure and the software co.'s/products? Kurt

Exactly Mark and your opinion on all of this is wrong regardless. Ever think about doing some DD before making absurd speculations. People drive me nutz talking about something they have no clue at what they are saying. First you do not like the revenue verus income which is basically the same dang thing, then you bring up slot make no money and that gets shot down then you bring up casion 99.9% advertizing and that gets shot down. Now you clarity it is not a casino. You want a reality check I think you need it worse than anyone else. Most of us know about all the millions coming into this stock and the 15 slots are so petty it is not even worth discussing but that is what you want to discuss. Now if you want to flame a stock you should be prepared for other opinions different from yours. I have researchd this stock more than anyone. I know a lot about it and I have talked to all the companies under its umbrella. GEEZE Mark if you do not like the stock then don't buy it an go away. Why come on this thread to start a bunch of bull anyway. JMO GB
