Their is no debate....I am trying to open the door for you to create a strategy which would help suggest to this company HOW it can go forward...I am not an advocate for Nine's management anymore than I am an advocate...I am merely looking beyond their current situation, if I even have the time... Again, I ask you C.R. what would you suggest they do at this point, if they are able to buy themselves more time? Is my question to you, too hypothetical? Do you feel the company is beyond repair? Can it win business thru design wins at IBM? DELL again? OTHERS? At this point, I am conceding to you that I have some egg on my face, if I lash back at you, it's out of frustration. Don't you think I've talked to people over there MANY times? My feeling is that it is counter -productuive to trash them, when they have the same goals that us shareholders have. If management IS the problem as you have pointed out clearly, who would be better at partnering with them or replacing them? if your agenda with them is not personal in nature than I apologize for the implication...Maybe we can share a beer sometime, ( a case of Anchor Steam} on me: the last of the great Nine hold-outs. Have a good day Charles. jr2

Charles, Care to Guesstimate how long until they are sold or have to close their doors. How about the percentages of being sold vs closing. At the moment, it looks like this stock is holding on the premise that their technology is worth something to someone. Wonder how long people will wait until they lose patience and decide to sell on no news. Once people see the bailing start, I'm sure it will get ugly very quickly. Thanks for you insightful opinions. This is my first post in SI as a result of a bizarre Valentines Day present from my husband.
