cary, I'd be happy to assist in that endeavor. My Email address is listed. If Cisco is open and available, perhaps we can double-team the task. Let 'em fly boys and girls. Like rust, my mail server never sleeps. Frank

Cary, I understand that there is a precedence for a SI thread putting together questions in preparation of a company's conference call. I have been told that the TPRO thread did this for TPRO's last conference call. Believe it or not, they are currently negotiating group room rates for the TPRO's stockholders meeting. I think we would agree that what is said on a conference call can move the price of a stock up or down. Therefore, I believe one must be careful what type of questions are asked! I think one should be careful to ask only pertinent questions, stay on topic, and limited the number of questions. I believe the questions should be open ended giving the company room to expand upon their answers. There are also some questions that are clearly not appropriate for a conference call. In the case of this conference call, I believe one should stay focused on the creation of NewCo, its strategic partners, time table for implementation, and how this will increase shareholder value. I will be surprised if Sandesh Seth of Commonwealth Associates and Sandy Hollenhorst of Vector Securities don't probe these areas during the call. Cisco

Cary, Your statement: <<I spoke to Dana today, breifly. She expressed openness to the idea of having at least the spirit of our questions addressed during the conference call on Tuesday. As she explained, after the opening remarks of the call, it's pretty much an open forum.>> Leaves me with a need to know how to interpret the ... at least the spirit of our questions... aspect of the above offer. My take is that a general area of shareholder concerns is to be tossed up for further elaboration at the time of the meeting. Who will act as the proxy designate for this group of shareholders? Ie.,Dana, an appointed representative from this forum thread, or will Peter and Len just "incorporate and elaborate" on the issues brought to them through our finalized/editted few questions? I agree with Cisco that the question areas addressed should be editted, with an eye perhaps toward; recent corporate directionality, timeliness, and shareholder impact/value enhancement issues only. The analysts' will/should cover the more quantitative aspects. Any insight or clarification on the above area in question would be helpful. Frank
