Been reading INNI thread.............. Vegas is there, along with Mr. Meade, Isreal, T Burke, Nigel,Young gun, Fuza, Seeker and more. They been sitting on this one playing it from .20 to 3/8. Sorry guy's... Anyhow its IBM they have a partnership with owning 16% of the co. , not Microsoft and an alliance deal with Netscape. MERCHANT/400,COMMERCE/400, WEBSERVER/400 and WEBULATOR/400 IS going to make them money....... I/NET just recently started sales to Asia (mainly Japan) market. (1) Main Products: I asked about the retail price of I/NET's main products (in order to estimate earnings). Here is what I got. I/NET's main products includes MERCHANT/400 (retail price $15,000, must be used with Commerce Server/400 ), COMMERCE/400 (retail price $4995), WEBSERVER/400 (retail price $2995) and WEBULATOR/400 (retail price $2995). Netscape SuiteSpot server products will be ported by I/NET to AS/400 and will be released on the end of July. The first one coming out will be the Enterprise Server. The price is not set yet. (2) The Market for I/NET's Main Products I/NET's main products are specifically for IBM AS/400 users. There are about half million AS/400 users worldwide. The new AS/400E, mainly targeted at network server market, is expected to sell between 25,000 to 50,000 units per year. The ported Netscape products will be for the new RISC based AS/400E with V4R2. The current worldwide AS/400 market is illustrated below: US and Canada: 30% Europe: 45% Asia: 20% (with 80% of users in Japan) Other: 5% I/NET just recently started sales to Asia (mainly Japan) market. Recently, I/NET lunched Career/Net. It is marketed by a Miami company. Customerssigned up so far include Citibank and pageNet. I/NET is also doing consulting business. For example, it designed IBM's AS/400 web site and has just extended its contract with IBM to maintain that site
