Jim, In regards to the interview, I'm realaudio deaf as well (behind a firewall) but these are my thoughts: 1. On the domestication: Early next week is great, it would be nice if it came through, but I think that they have to file their equivalent of a 10K before doing so (by the 15th and I haven't looked at EDGAR the last couple days). As we have previously discussed domestication could raise the price 10-20%. 2. On the partnering: I'm for it if it is a very good valuations. Obviously as a shareholder I want the highest valuation, would would come off something like being based on 1999 (or hopefully 2000) esitmated sales. If the Company were to get 3x 2000 sales, that would probably be a great valuation (over $500 million pre-money) which could also raise the value of the stock 20%. If they get a lower valuation, smaller benefit. Note that I have no idea what 2000 sales will be, but trying to conservatively guess (if we hit 100 million this year, it could be several hundred million in two years which would increase the benefit substantially, maybe to $15 per share near term, IMO). 3. I would love to sit in on a conference call like we had 6-7 months ago (or thereabouts). 4. I don't like seeing a bunch of options, warrants, etc. granted for small successes (like a financing). I think I asked about options being issued back in May. Companies are not required to disclose when the options are granted, just how many and at what price. Timing is always important. But I don't know too many comapnies that dont make alot of grants when their stock price is low (or reprice existing options). Its commonplace, but doesn't feel too fair from an individual investor point of view). Best regards, Scott.

Mr.Halimi was impressive. I have read a lot about Mr. Halimi on the internet. Thus I was very interested in how he conducted himself during the interview. He was balanced, conservative, and did not try to 'pump the stock' at all. For example, toward the end of the interview, Mr. Halimi was asked if he thought the stock was 'a buy' right now. He gave an honest, honorable response along the following lines. "The stock is a speculative stock right now. The earnings currently do not support the share price. The company has a great product, is currently experiencing great interest in their product, and has a huge potential market. In that sense, the stock could be a tremendous opportunity." After listening to this interview, I am very reassured that Mr. Halimi is thoughtful, prudent, and unlikely to take rash measures harmful to the company's prospects. Regards, Dave

Nothing really new... ...or am I wrong ? Confirmation of rumor(s), maybe... Q&A I don't have answers for MC2.(no joke) A reliable source says: NO. (F*ck my sources, eh ?) Why the hell should a former DD person "Ware" quit - orders/joint venture pending. Can anyone tell me ONE reason that makes any SENSE ? Means: I think WW is still and will remain...CEO... BUT: Nobody cares what poor Rolfy thinks :( Want a CC ? Go and get one ! Tell the company ! All of us would like to join. Go and be a hero. So be it ! BULLISH ! YESSS ! As I've said before...I don't think it's right to approach this story from the too scientific side...look - I think of myself as a business man down to the bone - making decisions just to get the best result - little sacrifice included (in a fair way)- no pain - no gain ! Not what the so-called "rules" tell me to do etc. etc....don't give a DAMN'...STOMACH rules ! WE (most of us) always expect things to be perfect: THEY R NOT ! They r the hell not ! TRBD is a newcomer to the market, guys and things just don't always happen as they should. That is why I sometimes try to understand and figure out own theories if things with this company don't "fit" as expected. One is as follows(strictly MOO = my opinion only or the sound a cow makes) : Imagine you were part of the 10 - 20 % takeover game Ed spoke about...and in charge of conducting negotiations...would'nt you tell Turby not to let the rates rocket up ? And what would you do if it was planned to buy a percentage on the free market ? Reason enough NOT to be worried right now ! But it's only one out of a few possible reasons for the situation today. If - no need to ask questions. LET THEM ! Business has - and that's what I like the most - that certain adventurous taste from time to time - enjoy - be part of it + have VISIONS ---- or just LEAVE ! NO ACCOUNTANT BEHAVIOUR. Wanna play safe ? 100 % ? SELL ! I repeat: Since we survived the deadly valley - just some DAYS ago...I do believe we'll be able to make the REAL BIG BUCK w/this company. You considered the Russian deal to have full impact on 98's results didn't you ??!! 'nuf BLABLA - but: shorter than yahoo, right ? Rolf PS: Think the NAS won't react at all or better:should not ;)

Jim: The interview was very positive... It's the technical picture, failed triple top, that makes me think we may have to go back and fill that gap in the 6.00 area... So, I'm reserving a big chunk of cash for such a pullback to the 6.00 area... If that doesn't happen I'm prepared to buy the breakout and re-test of the triple top area... Jim

Jim and All, A few comments and observations. - Where is Ware these days is he not the CEO ? Edward Halimi has definitely be in the fore front recently in both PR and interviews.Walter Ware may be busy closer to home bring some of these major deals to the fore front. I see no problem having two bosses working for us, seems to be the trend in business lately. - Two messages on Yahoo left by Quaaq that are worth reading. ( 2346 and 2348 ) _ Also, no mention of the Turbopac's on BOATS. As an owner of one. I can say that there is a LOT of DESIEL ENGINES spewing black clouds on the water and FUEL COSTS ARE ON EVERYONES MIND. _ As a long term investor TRBD ( no F Next week )is going to fund my early retirement. _ So relax and enjoy the ride up.
