[MRVC at Network+Interop 98] MRVC will be one of 600 vendors at the N+I'98 show in Las Vegas on May 4-8th. Sure hope they bring the attention grabbing, colorful MRVC hot air balloon again. The only other balloon was from BAY Networks. For further info on show see: interop.com . Ron Now off to the I-Net show in LA. Gotta get me some more free animation and 3-D software for web page design.

Question to all regarding the road show... I see two potential responses to watch out for with respect to a successful road show. One is buying by investors who anticipate the stock will begin to move up because of the road show. The other is institutional buying brought on by MRVC's presentations at the brokerage houses. Is this reasonable? My question is when to look for these responses. Shouldn't the first have occurred already? More importantly, when is it reasonable to expect to see the second? Right away? I think if I was an analyst, and I was impressed with MRVC's presentation, I may just sort of put MRVC on my radar screen and make a note to verify the inventory situation next month before making any firm recommendations. But I'm no analyst. I see mention on this thread that the stock price moved up smartly during the previous road show. Does anyone know when institutional buying began? Just throwing out some thoughts for correction/clarification by my betters... Regards, Dave Willett
