Procom ranked first among 25 other CD-ROM Tower companies including Meridian Data, Microtest and Micro Design International.

> The "rumors" of U.S. Government contracts are resurfacing, including a DOD contract. The details when confirmed will be shared. The RAID technology is the rumored application. PRCM has held up very well in the recent tech slide with few sellers. Do you think people feel they have a winner? > PRCM has held up very well? A winner? That's what I thought before the stock dropped from 18 to the 14-15 level when the report come out ... the kicker is they beat estimate by a penny. TNH
