Want kind of numbers do you want? RS is gung-ho on AOL. Do you want those numbers? AOL trades on its 2005 earnings (even by those measures it is still overvalued). Why do those ducks get to use 2005 and not C-Cube? If C-Cube traded on even the conservative RS estimates of 1999 we would easily be above $25/share. What kind of numbers do you think people are looking for? I have given up on this and concluded that although I think these numbers are important, that this is not what is moving this and many other smallcaps. Take Care, Joe

The computer industry and the Pentagon both agree on digital video at 720 lines, progressive scan. From the National Imagery Mapping Association. You don't think that the Pentagon would digital video in software, do you?............ techweb.cmp.com Posted: 3:00 p.m. EST, 3/6/98 NIMA completes digital-video specs By George Leopold WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon may approve as early as today video standards for high-definition imagery after completing a detailed analysis of Defense Department requirements for digital TV in military applications. The Video Imagery Standards Profile (VISP) was developed during the past year by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA; Reston, Va.) to foster interoperability among Defense Department video systems using geospatial data and imagery. While adopting the U.S. Advanced Television Service Committee's standard for high-definition TV, the military spec also endorses 720-line progressive scanning, a format backed by the U.S. computer industry, for high-definition video imagery. The endorsement is seen by industry and government sources as a boost for the PC format, which has struggled to get off the ground since a U.S. HDTV standard was approved last year. Concerns about the availability of equipment for certain military applications could spur development and production of 720-line progressive equipment, a NIMA official said. Endorsing the format is seen as one way to achieve economies of scale needed to bring down development and production costs while ensuring NIMA and other DOD agencies will have access to the video equipment.
