Technology Stocks : Systemsoft Inc. (SYSF) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Robert, I don't want to ignore this info, but I think there is more to it than meets the eye. You'll notice that the Intel "Tillamook" chipset is selling well; this is Intel's latest, fastest notebook chipset. I think one of the problems right now is that the older notebook models are languishing as buyers anticipate the PentiumII notebooks. SYSF has said they are doing well signing OEMs for their notebook BIOS that supports this new chipset. Also, notebooks that are already in the sales channel have paid SYSF for the BIOS and/or Card Wizard that they shipped with, even if they end up being sold at fire sale prices, due to everyone wanting the PII models. On top of this, the new PII models will be even more capable of running NT well, so SYSF's current lock on PCMCIA support for NT (CardWizard) is another plus, as more and more notebooks ship with NT installed or are upgraded after the fact. -Dave Lehenky
