sandi- i think the news on the website being postponed upsets the people who want to make a quick pop. that could very easily happen, but i for one am glad to see they are taking the time to do it right. i would much rather wait a month or so and have a great website than for them to just throw something together. think about it. how many times have you visited a site that didn't work properly. you didn't visit it again, did you? TSIG will happen and it will happen big. i have to agree with marty. if the near future means a month or so, so what! everyone should be buying more at these prices. good luck! shawn

Sorry for this long post, people. You know the following is not my style, but sometimes something comes along that just doesn't smell right. In this case it isn't, IMHO, TSIG, but certain posters who have suddenly appeared on the scene. ********************************************************************** Sandi, <<Please explain to me how you can take this latest disappointment as a positive sign.>> YOU take this as a "disappointment". I take it as the reality of the software development world and the electronic age. Things will not just go according to YOUR schedule. If you know anyone in the software development field then ask them... no, I don't believe you will do that. <<What have they shown us? Nothing yet!>> Perhaps not to you, but it has been posted frequently enough recently that this website, as any other software, requires beta testing so that it is as "glitch-free" as possible when launched. That is obviously for the benefit of TSIG and all its stockholders. Yes, it has been seen by those who have been helping beta test it... and it is, IMHO, "dynamite" and is far superior (because of TSIG's other divisions... ie: telephony services) to any of the competition. Of course, I can turn the question around... what have YOU shown us?? <<The game plan has now changed again.>> Wrong... again. Only your game plan appears to have changed... from a supposed long-term holder to someone who is suddenly waiting out every second for something she perceives should occur when she wants it to. As you said <<"True, the launch date hasn't been in writing">>... so why do you make suppositions as to an exact date for deliverance? From other's posts and their guesses...?<< over the last months, how many of you have called the company and been reassured that the launch would be close?>>? You are playing a semantics game. In the software development world, "close" means a few months one way or the other. Non-existant software is known as "vaporware". Is TSIG's CCI website "vaporware? NO! Will it be launched next week? I doubt it... in fact I don't know when it will be launched, but would venture a guess by around the end of the month. You keep "asking" everyone to "explain" to you and keep telling us all about your "major" investment in TSIG. Now I ask you to explain to us: 1) Have you called TSIG and asked to speak with Robert Gordon directly as was suggested? My interpretation of your posts is that you have not. 2) If you own so much stock in TSIG for such a long period of time (from over $2. to down to .05), why are you suddenly so interested in your investment? Why didn't you sell a long time ago and cut your losses? 3) When you bought your TSIG stock originally, did you do any DD? If so, please share it with us. <<They must really be smooth on the phone.>> Perhaps not as smooth as you are with your posts. What a "sweet" basher you are. <<In deep>>. Perhaps you're getting in deeper than you think. A supposed long-term stockholder who refuses to follow through with any suggestions to do their own DD, but continues to bash? It makes me (and I'm sure others) wonder about your true agenda and whether you actually own any TSIG stock at all. With your large investment in TSIG, one would certainly think you would have joined SI for $125. a long time ago ($75. back when you supposedly were lurking), rather than just having joined a few days ago. I'm sure you don't like my comments in this post. That's fine! I (and I believe others on this thread as well) would just like an explanation from you as to why you waited all this time after holding the stock supposedly from over $2/share to way below where it is now and still refuse to do any DD on your own. You just suddenly surface and start bashing without responding to any of the posts that have suggested you do your own DD if you don't accept what has been posted by others. I, for one, would certainly be happy to hear any factual DD from anyone, but no more rhetoric please. Marty

Sandi, If you have really been here since the two dollar range - what brought you here in the first place and why haven't you picked up the phone yourself? It seems that your agenda might just be to drive the price down. I hope it is to average down a bit more. As to your allegations that the folks at TSIG must be really smooth on the phone - I personally invite you to join me on the phone with Robert Gordon or anyone else in the company. Let's get to the bottom of this together. Here's my take on the whole TSIG mess. I have developed web sites for my clients. Creativity, deadlines, cross vendor cooperation, client approvals, hardware and software glitches and many more issues tend to delay the FINAL product. It's a funny thing - the cake ain't ready until it's fully baked. Things take time. I just spent the day at MacWorld in NYC today. It was a great show and certainly proof that Apple is still alive and doing well - the David in a world of Goliaths. The isles were "littered with software and hardware product that missed their initial release dates. Some of them were spectacular. You might be surprised that even the GIANTS in the industry like Microsoft consistently miss deadlines. In this business - you either do it right or you don't do it at all. Real simple. One of my client friends worked for a small company many years ago. She was a software developer and they occasionally missed deadlines too. She was one of five employees and when the President offered his employees a chance to invest in the company - her folks told her that no one in their right mind would invest in a startup. She didn't and by the way - the company is ORACLE. Go figure. Many have recently tested the beta site. I intend to be one of them this coming week. I have provided this service to Mac software developers for the past 14 years and really look forward to lending both my expertise and my opinion to TSIG. You might call me a TRUE INVESTOR. I've worked in the Music and Computer industries most of my professional life and I love it. This time around - I've gotten a chance to invest in one. I don't entirely trust your intentions but I will give you the benefit of the doubt - so let's call.........Norms
