Alex, Thanks for the info on Heavy Gear! <<<off topic>>> QSound is a company that I have followed for a long, long time....since 1993-4 I believe. I was looking at digital signal processing and came across DSP Group and Analog Devices at the time. I was looking at algorithms for speech and video compression. I saw C-Cube, but it wasn't public yet. I vowed that I would buy it after its IPO, but I never did and I regretted it sorely. DSP Group on the other hand, I did buy into, and it paid off nicely last year. QSound I thought was intriguing at the time too as a DSP utilization. helicopters overhead, etc. But at the time there were a LOT of competitors that were doing the same thing and it didn't seem that QSNDF could differentiate itself. At the time, it was also around the $2-3 range....hasn't moved much, despite a slew of licensing agreements with games companies and Dolby digital implementors, etc. At that time, 3D cards were non-existant in the consumer domain. You think it's a good buy here? EROX....duh. What a terrible story. Always in my mind a speculative play....something I read in the WSJ before it came public. Then it did and I bought in at around $1 3/4. Then it proceeded to $10 after I started the thread and has since crashed down. I'm still holding :( Anyway, good luck! Tom C.
