Hi Anthony: you remind me of somebody I know who left a position of employment with a company and moved to a soon to be competing company and then sat back and slammed the company He left. He lost the second position when the CEO of the corp. found out what he was doing and decided that his actions were unacceptible for the reputation of his corporation. Just my opinion but You are starting to fit this profile to a T. Frank.

Hi Anthony.. and all others on this thread.. This is my first time visiting here. I have been following, investing, making some money and losing a decent amount of money on paper with AGTI for some years now. I speak to Mr. Chris sargent at least once a week at this point. It is very difficult to gauge the "truth" about this company. Obviously, Mr. sargent is not going to tell me "hey, Jerry our co. stinks and our management is not good".. he paints a "good" picture, i guess that is his job. To be honest, i have been pretty dissapointed with the co. so far. Mr. Sargent seems to want to tell me more "good stuff" but "something" is holding him back.. He kind of blames it on mngmt., but i don't really get why mngmt. would be so "scared" to publicize Agti in a more aggressively positive light????!!! It seems that Mr. Sargent feels that Mr. Silzer does not want to "over publicize" the positive before it becomes a reality. A perfect example: Have any of you heard of the incredible opportunity Agti is having in Great Britian? Well supossedly Agti (mainly Mr. Silzer) is working on a deal to have Agti's products significantly distributed and earning mega bucks in England in the near future... How true this is?? who really knows? If we don't get it in press releases.. who really cares??!! Is this another "China deal?" who really knows?? I agree with you Anthony.. the earnings report stunk!! Exactly how is Agti getting to "profitability"? Am i missing something here? I still like this co., don't get me wrong, but something is not right here... or maybe mr. Sargent is really telling the truth.. The co. does not want to go out on a limb with all kinds of "bold statements" .It would rather just show steady growth and when "real" stuff happens, it will announce it.. I guess my frustration is that it never seems to report any "real" significant stuff.. That worries me as an investor.. Let's keep this thread going strong. I will hop on at this point and any and all info I can talk about I will.. I would like a response to this.. also.. how do we really know who is on this thread.. i mean, i don't want to sound paranoid, but how do we know someone from mngmt. is not using one of the techstock names in disguise..well i surely am not.. i am jerry.. i own a pest control firm in Pa.. just a silly thought! please respond to all this... especially the "England stuff" if you have info. bye.. gotta go to bed!

Tony, My, I see you have been busy again. Before philosophizing, let me address your issues: 1 - I agree totally with your assesement about Reverse Split I'm glad you agree with my assessment. This is one of the few agreements you and I seem to have reached over the months. 2 - Remember, it's human nature for people to go with the leaders. And that would be STUART, BCM, and GAMETECH. I suspect this sort of comment was coming out of Detroit in the 1960's. The Japanese had a few "comedy" cars here on debut from upstarts like Datsun, Toyota and Honda. But then came the '70's. I can only hope that our competitors are as smug as Ford, GM and Chrysler were back then. And sorry, Tony, but I disagree with your analysis of human nature. Do you honestly think that any of the serious, self-respecting bingo halls will give a good squat about AGTI's management ability or their relative rank in the industry? Get real. The halls will base their contracting decisions on only a few things: product performance, customer service and REVENUES!!! AGTI scores high on all points. I don't know much about Stuart or BCM, but if I were you I would be cautious about touting Gametech too highly. A major hall in California recently removed their Gametech equipment and replaced it with AGTI's MAX Bingo System, a sizable installation. If Gametech is so great, why would any customer boot them out? I have to assume that either the product stunk or the service was poor. Bad news for Gametech, great news for you and me, Tony. Especially when Gametech's IPO is likely to be priced at $12-13 per share and we're sitting around $.11. As we begin taking their business in earnest, why would anyone think they are worth a multiple of 100+ times AGTI? Be happy, Tony! Can't you see that our inferior competitor is actually doing us a big favor? I have a LOT more to say about Gametech, but I'll save that stuff for a future post. I've been doing a little detective work and DD on my own (AGTI doesn't know everything) and I've picked up some interesting tidbits. REAL interesting, Tony. But first I need to confirm the rumors I heard. To be continued.... 3 - Also keep in mind that we've had working fixed base units out there for years. Gosh, we agree on yet another one, Tony! That embedded base is growing as I type, and will continue to grow at an accelerated rate due to our newly-announced relationship with BTC. 4 - ...don't forget that salary increases for top management kicks in in 1998 and will completely offset that order Tony, you really love to slam AGTI's management team. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. It's almost like an obsession with you. I cannot speak for any other reader of this thread, but for myself, I understood your point many posts back. No need to repeat it time after time. Rather than throw rocks from shadows on the internet, why didn't you submit a shareholder proposal for the last general meeting?? This is the proper way to express your discontent with management, not the constant bashing on SI. I'll tell you one thing bluntly. I have met Bob Silzer and have spoken with him several times on the telephone. I'm normally a pretty fair judge of character and I find Bob to be an honorable, honest and hardworking guy. Honest to a fault, even about past mistakes. In light of income which has been deferred by both Silzer and Lakhani, I won't even respond to your comment about salaries. 5 - You and I didn't cause that. Management did... See my point in 4 above?? 6 - It looks to me that SEGA has cooled off. I believe you are wrong. SEGA is alive and well, and living in Las Vegas. 7 - BCM is well respected in the industry so their credibility should help us alot with their clients This is a record, Tony. THREE agreements for you and me. But I thought the company is BTC, per AGTI's press release. Who is BCM? Now for the philosophy. I just read the "war of words" between you and Frank, and in his own style he raises some valid points. There is an obvious pattern to your posts, typically offsetting any moderately positive comments with overwhelmingly negative ones. Why would any normal human do this, at great potential injury to one's own investment? Now does that make any sense to you, Tony? I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but logical deduction and inference would lead me to believe that your intention is to downgrade AGTI at every turn in the road. Or are you so noble in spirit that you wish to save the rest of the world from the Evil Empire which is AGTI? Philosophically speaking, I sometimes ask myself if you and I are maybe on a different plane of logic and simply can't understand each other. But I think you and I understand each other perfectly, Tony. Don't we? Guess that's about enough verbage for one night. But I'll be back.....you can count on it. Hardrocker
