Richard- how do you research a company?

Me, I go to their website.

I'm checking the company. Yahoo! sends me to mrv.com

It looks like a high school kid built it in a weekend, frames and all.

In the last month or so, the site will actually send you to nbase.com to get the IR package.

Before that, you had to peep the raw html to get a clue who to contact. There are other funny comments in the code, too- or at least there used to be!

You go to the Nbase site- it takes forever to load, and you can just tell somebody just learned how to do javascript roll-overs last month, and is going to use them, no matter what.

Do you want to buy switches from a networking company that can't build a nice website?

You don't need to spend a heap of money to get a competent job done- but the graphics shouldn't be done by a C programmer.

Richard- what is the Bo schtick about?

Do you think that mgmnt. is sharp enough to notice that CSCO just improved gross margins by utilizing the internet, that 50+% of biz was ordered over the web, up from 41% last qtr. Who ever gave the impression that the website is a "waste", should be slapped. Maybe even sent to that new pr job, where they could head up the fast paced MRV news dept. ;-(
