Jason, >> They are looking to win business thru RELATIONSHIPS. IF they can enhance an IBM or NEC or others with their NEW product this spring they will get the business << Since the end of life cycle of Imagine128 or the day of Millenium arrived, NINE has lost most of its OEM relationship and the situation is deteriorated. The good thing is now NINE is really at the bottom so it can only go up or stay. TSNG is a good example, yesterday it reached $2.00 but the company is still looking for "new opportunity" or merely "doing nothing but paying expenses" while NINE is still in business. >> Once again it's easy to pick on management.... << Someone is going to be responsible, if the failure is not result of a extraordinary or external factor then the management or the leader of the company is the one to blame. In addition, the shareholders are not well informed of what's happening with the company. Does anyone know the financial options NINE has, what's going on with Rev3D SGRAM? >> They aren't going to have the best product 10% of the time. << It is much more than 10%. They never have "the best" since Img128-1. STB is not a chip maker, rather it buys the chips from various sources and implants them onto their own graphic board design and sell them to box makers like GW2k, DELL. Similar to Creative and Diamond but STB focus more on OEM market. NINE has the ability to be another STB like company. Right now it is stucked with SIII (another recent loser) but imo it should look for other opportunity like NVidia... aC
