Well after the run up to $7 after earnings - we're right back to the $5 - $6 range again. I'm tempted to sell and get the tax break from this thing. As far as a purchase from HUMCF goes, I'm surprised to hear that HUMCF wants to be in the document management arena. That's a far stretch from their existing business. Anyway, HUMCF purhasing DOCSF had been a rumour that I initially heard about well over six months ago - I don't believe that it will happen. I do not believe that it would be a smooth transition into a single company, nor am I convinced that it makes business sense for HUMCF to enter the document management arena. I have not heard their CEO's rationale regarding - but the two businesses are entirely different - and just are not complimentary enough to have probable success. Just my opinion. Have to admit though - a purchase of DOCSF would be nice to see a couple of point gain in this stock. -Jay

Big day on the Nasdaq. Nice move by DOCSF - gain of 1/64th. It doesn't seem like DOCSF will be recovering that point that they managed to gain after earnings (like the rest of my stocks have) after the perils of the last few weeks. Guess it's back to waiting for the next earnings report. BTW - I talked to a company today who was set to roll-out DOCS Open 3.5x with Word 8.0 (1500 seats / seven offices) in February of this year (which happened to be the last time I talked to them). They attempted their roll-out - got to 500 nodes - and decided that the problems were so 'severe' that the roll-out had to be cancelled until January. They are left in dealing with DOCS support and Microsoft support - saying that they are 'working' on the problems. How ridiculous is that? I've been in this piece of sh*t for over two years - have exhibited lot's of patience. But, it's time to take Uncle Sam's break - or maybe I'll stick in this for a little while longer - I'm looking for a few more 64th's <gggg>. -Jay
