Hi Gator, Not much more to be said IMO, Gator. The ingredients are all there. The products have merit. Management and employees are working hard. And they have a plan. IMO everything now is in the question how well do they know how to market and negociate. Revenue will be directly tied to the effectiveness of sustained promotion in the marketplace and behind closed doors at the bargaining table. Speculators are very trigger happy these days and expectations on this stock have been drastically lowered. Added to that most holders on the long side are sitting with a loss and grow tired of the lack of performance. That will create a lot of selling resistance on any moves. Look at the trading today. All Greenline selling. Greenline does not hold a house position so all the selling is small retail investors. And there will only be more weakness and erosion until Sideware starts delivering. They haven't shown they can do that yet. They have shown they can work hard, they have demonstrated an ability to change certain corporate circumstances, but they haven't shown they can effectively compete for market share. So far most of their promises are just that; promises. But they remain promises that can be realized. I support SYD in their efforts. There is a lot of pressure on the principals and I sympathize. However, nothing will happen unless they make it happen. Do they have the will to make it happen, to create a renewed perception in the marketplace? I continue to think they do. regards, ghunk

Hi Gator.....Regarding the Sept time frame: I am sitting on SYD like a mother hen..... with no known gestation period :-) I sure liked Agoras (The company response) to #10. I also posted (some of this) on MDRE over the weekend: My guess is something sensitive is going on with SYD but I am not privy to details (and that goes for MIQ too). When a spokesperson (for any stock) clams up or is gagged it usually means (to me) that there is something sensitive going on, usually good....It's when I hear "trust me on this one" or "good things in the pipeline" that I get cautious.....like when the legislature is in session :-)
