"Sir Rod The Techno God" maybe? "Bean Counter" you are .NOT.: 1)"I think what the market is saying is that sales out do not equal sales in and you can't dump two quarters together and get away with it." I publically ask what is your definition of "Sales Out" and "Sales In" and how do you dump two quarters together. I do agree the market will not let you get away with whatever you might be refering to, if we on this thread can understand what Sir Rod is referring to. 2)"The market also knows that the name of the game is profits and loosing 130 million is going to require about 1000 million in sales to break even given a 10% margin, or a mere half billion with a 20% margin." With "Sales Out" to end users of 100 million and change (the non channel stuffing type revenues that we mostly all complained about last August and September), and a very tight expense side of the P&L, that kind of money can be made in 4 to 6 Quarters. The stock price today has discounted all the losses, the current management and market share potential of the products. The real question faced with investors today is not whether a loss can be made back, (they are able to buy Corel at 2.50 Cdn with the past losses as the largest factor) but whether the Corel in the future can make money with a either a new CEO or the existing dictator as a "more tight lipped loose cannon" 3)"I really don't think that it takes any particular insight to see that Cowpland is not a competent executive and he makes that crystal clear ever time he opens his mouth to veer off in another direction." Sir Rod, Do you not like Cowpland? Has he done you "Bad" personally? Are you really "Bill Gates" with a Hard for "Cowpie"? Or Sir Rod could you really be "Vanni" without the "Focus" stuff? Could you be a W with a twist of English and a touch of "Cowpie" on your face? Sir Rod as most of this will fly right over your head: WE GET THE POINT MAN! YOU NO LIKE COWPLAND! RIGHT?
