The above Companies without symbols are either private or I was unable to locate them. I have to admit I was quite impressed with the number of partners that has been aligned by Sand and their partners. Surely all these and the availability of the Windows NT & W-95,98 versions will generate the revenues to make this stock be a profitable investment for us. Next I will work on a list of Sand's products, because they have increase dramatically this year. I know they now have the following available for shipment: Nucleus Exploration Suite: Nucleus (for UNIX) Nucleus for W-95,98 Nucleus for Windows NT DB2 accelerator (for any OS/390 running DB2 decision support systems) (and is thru Hitachi with 3 systems packages) and runs on some IBM products. Hope this helps to organize some of the press releases and gives us a better idea of where Sand is heading. Let
