Trading has resumed prior to the start of the conference call. So far, reaction is not looking too good. We're under $2.00 again. I hope the conference call reverses the trend.

Maybe the key to the short term price will also depend on just how much debt/liabilities Boca is picking up. Big buying on all the recent dips would indicate that those in the know thought something good was up--yet the immediate market reaction is seriously negative. Marc

A reasonable position, Richard. This could very well turn extremely positive once all the cards are played. Nonetheless, I've relunctantly concluded we're in for a short-term slaughter. Too low of a price, just too many imponderables. I've learned the hard way in the past that the market doesn't like such situations. So I took the opportunity to eliminate 3/4 of my position at the re-open. Still had a slight profit on the table, and I felt I had to take the money and run for the hills. Basically, what put me over the edge was the realization that we're now investing in a startup company. No revenue, no liabilities, no brand, just a potential for a great product. I've done this before, but always for <$1. My fear is that we're now heading for that range. Really hope I'm wrong, since I still have a gvil position, and because I feel for all the other long-time believers in this stock. Maybe Apple will come in and save our bacon, maybe there are great attributes to this deal that will be revealed in the call. Maybe! But, for now, I'm going to ground. Sea Otter

SPECULATION of what's to come... Richard, Someone on Yahoo posted that "Apple is the wild card"....got me to thinking perhaps Apple is still interested in a strong partnership, if not outright buyout, of GVIL...but didn't want the "baggage" that came with the "old" GVIL....namely the modem business. Makes sense that Apple could ill-afford to buy a modem reseller in the now-limited Mac market...to do so would instantly alienate all other [what few are left] Mac-OS modem developers (Supra, Hayes, Megahertz, etc), and in essence stifle all further development if not outright kill the niche. Mac owners and Apple would suffer without doubt to not have a thriving modem segment developing innovative products for Mac owners. Er, uh...not to mention selling modems isn't immensely profitable these days, and Apple doesn't need more unprofitable divisions. So...they entice [or coerce] GVIL to sell a now-hopelessly commoditized old-paradigm business to birth a debt-free business now free to explore the next wave, perhaps with that unnamed new partner. I am not privy to these new entertainment & network "boxes" I keep hearing rumors about, but this is the only rational spin I can give today's events. I do not own shares in GVIL, however...but hope their quality product stays around. Heck - I bet I've got 50 or more of their modems in inventory as I write this. c-man
