>>>It seems most of the talent is getting poached by EA.<<<

Probably poached them to do the ReBoot game. EA's Stock options are more attractive most likely since it is more liquid.

I see MFE got saved from going into obolivian for the short term. It seems the NEW Beasties episodes are now out. From last seasons last episode the planet explodes Optimus Primal is trapped in Space.

In the new season the energy of the planet explosion, transforms the
TransMetal transformation of all the Beasties. More of them can fly,
some now have wheels instead of having to run, new/more weapons/defensive capabilities and a couple new Beaties a Wolf and a Scorpion. All are animated in more detail, some more than others like Optimus Primal doesn't look like an Ape anymore.

Let us know what you learn. It looks as though your contacts should be able to tell us the plan. I know there's a grant from the BC gov't to start a training program. They haven't yet had any problem hiring or retaining people. Obviously, the key people are on LT contracts and have shares/options. But, love to hear what you learn.

Someone told me Mainframe was a featureed stock in something called "Canada Business". Said the article was real positive. There was only a summary on the web site, just a few sentances. Looks like a decent sized US-buyer is stepping in. Goldman Sachs Canada buying big today.
