Thank you, goodboy. The problem with research is that the future can not be told based on the present technology which you are looking into. While you are right for the time being, the changing technology is distorting the perception of the fact that harddisk ($150/stream) is a cheaper streaming media. It uses 128kbyte of sram for buffer. So the streaming is not exactly contiguous. The cheapest is CDROM at $50/stream and the speed will reach 33 mhz (scsi) transmission some day, which is probably 200x (currently 32x is the fastest) of original cdrom speed. But that transmission is all sram driven (buffered), rather than mechanical speed alone. No one talks about cdrom any more, although the media is the only media available other than the tape cassette (bigger cassette than the VCR) which broadcast people use. And CD-R is only a buck a throw. DVD is the coming thing but no media, no low price and no popularity yet.

All this does not change the fact that CCUR has something but what? Only the incoming revenue will tell.

Note my post #3006. I chose to pick up on the "character" issue with your ONCO comments, that Corky has a history of talking a good game.
It is because your general thesis makes sense that I do not trade the stock, which would obviously be a better strategy. I have known for a couple of years about the WIND analogy. But it does look as if Corky has found a new generation of institutional suckers who believe his tales of "done deals".

I have read your post carefully and I appreciate it but I am too
busy with a rush emergency job right now to post anything of value. Satchmo obviously has been reading a lot of my posts when
nothing is happening and I am bored. I may get "itchy" sometimes
but I don't bail out, I'm in for the long haul. Anything I post
on the short term isn't worth anything because short term is not
my thing.
Good luck to all (I'm about to finish this job and I'll be back).
Ken

I have some dumb questions for Goodboy and Satchmo.
Goodboy from your #3003 post where did you get the information
that CCUR was working with Intel chips ? Everything I read said
PowerPC.

Satchmo would not SFA and ONCO be able to make a deal
independent of CCUR ? If I recall correctly SFA has been
suppling Hotels with stuff for decades.
Also are you leaking inside info from the SFA legal staff ?
If so; remember that your alleged name is in your SI post trail.
