David, RE: I think the market is telling us how much VSGN is worth. I think the market is telling how little it understands regarding the technology trends (especially in regards to the hot enterprise market), and what a tools company needs in order to be the technology leader. I was disappointed to know how little streets understand about tech trend, too. But again we were the ones who bought BORL @ $6+/- when they sold them off. So I'm waiting for buying opportunity again. I'm sorry that timing was terrible for our option playing friends. But this is one of those things we have to go through to become a larger player in the market. I bet Yocam did good research because he got tons of options, too. Good luck to all! BPP

Java Software Anybody looking for portable, thin-client solutions for Windows 95 or NT ought to consider this company. The background of their management team is truly impressive and their products have received excellent reviews. They have a Java office suite which works in conjunction with several other enterprise tools and when you look at where some of these people come from and the critical positions they held at those companies, it's clear they know which way is up. Moreover, the are able to distinguish shinola from that other stuff at a single glance. They are looking forward and made a commitment to Java early on. That has cost them in the short run, but they are now moving foward again as the Windows products move into beta. If this isn't the ground floor then what is?
