TMrent, it does sound like you know a lot about your product, competitor products, the industry and what clients want. What I have never seen is you talk about CCUR's real competitve adavantage here. A novice can go to there web sight and see that VFT and RTOS (which by the way is a software solution by virtue that CCUR is moving into providing lower price point for single board Motorola computers, not their own architecture) Will you please discuss for the board why CCUR system is so cheap versus competitors? What aspects of system are unique and provide that advantage? (Storage, prioritization, access stored video, VFT, etc.) Explain to the board what Mitsubishi IVOD solution is all about and how it works? Is it better than CCUR? If you are an industry person ( your vocabulary and technology grasp support that), then you must know about Mitsubishi because they are up for probably the bigest contract for IVOD in the Hospitality industry. Number two would be Lodgenet. I have seen many a post filled with techno talk, but rarely have I seen an accurate descripition on how CCUR can provide IVOD for so little cost and provide such high end performence and scalability. I want to appreciate your knowledge, but I have not really seen you use your knowledge on this board of what CCUR system really is. Do you not know? Have you met or spoke with the company or its development personal? Have you seen their system in action at the CAble show or at their headquarters? I am not trying to downgrade your knowledge, I just want to probe into its origins and correctness. I Know some things to be different from you and I feel confident in the information (much of it from the company). How much do you know, please share in plain English, it would be helpful to those on the board to make sure your grasp of their technology and benefits are correct. THank You in advance.

According to Dunleavy, CCUR has some products operating on NT now
and are working on others. They definitely intend to take
advantage of NT in future products and they are working toward
that now. Also, they have signed a "non disclosure" agreement
with ONCO so I am not sure they will be allowed by ONCO to make
any future announcements (maybe ONCO wants to keep their plans a
secret).

ONCO $300/room x 150 rooms = $45K/hotel (means it's not a MediaHAWK)

You can't build a CCUR MediaHawk based system like this at this price point and still make money.

It likely is a 30-50 stream (not all rooms will order at the same time) system using Optical disks, NT, and analog-to-the room (to avoid a digital STB in the room).

Yawn.
