Does anyone know when this dog reports their earnings? I have been holding for almost a year and am about to give up and take a tax loss. Ernie

Radarlove, Thanks for the update. TSSW is selling for almost cash on hand. The company has a loss carry forward that could be used by an acquiring company to offset future taxable income. REF NetOptimizer. Should help the company in the third qtr and beyond. . . WIN 98 will also help sales of the companies other products. . . Still waiting on some more e.support contracts and one or more new products released during the next 2 qtrs. DC

Thanks for the response (and sorry for the lateness of mine, I left for a short vacation right after I posted). I had known of the limited impact on the second quarter, but was wondering about sales going forward in the third quarter. I have seen the product endcapped in several retail outlets in the Cleveland area (Microcenter and CompUSA). It seems to be selling fairly well. The product does work well and has a very nice interface. However, there are several freeware and shareware products that work just as well though their interfaces and ease of use are a bit more arcane (similar to Optimizers manual mode). The product seems to be a natural for bundling with new PC packages and also ISP services. I wonder if Touchstone has considered this. I do believe the downside in this stock is limited at this point. However, I'm not sure there is much upside either. I'll give it one more quarter. If the third quarter results are not encouraging, I'll dump it.
