Well my friend, we are a LONG way from ZERO. We are at a market cap of about $200 million last I heard. Also, you haven't explained to me how Matridigm has anything to do with Zitel. I remember in a previous conference call J King was very careful to ensure whether the questioners were asking about Matridigm or Zitel. Of course King didn't really give a hoot about being clear but he did want to appear concerned about the distinction, lest anyone accuse him of misleading investors. "Do you mean Matridigm or Zitel?" King asked. Well...both...I guess... responded the bewildered questioner. Sure is tough making a buck off of other people's hype when they shut down the hype machine when you least expect it. I hear Zitel is barely mentioning its Y2K business in press releases. Hello, Zitel faithful, this is your last warning. At least that's the public face the company is putting forward. All above board, no undue hype about Y2K or Matridigm (any more). The sneaky innuendo mill has obviously conspired to pump up the stock with silly false rumors about a merger between two worthless companies. Maybe you could ask management directly about that.

Satchmo, It's a lot more complex than that. Just because the source code has been run through MD's process doesn't mean it's fixed. The source code has to be recompiled and then tested to make sure the fix works. MD's process of altering the source code can be automated to some extent. The rest of the process can't. Before you go long or short this stock I would suggest that you invest in a primer on software technology so that the technical discussions (what few of them there are) on this thread will be of more benefit to you.
