__________OT a little_____________ SBLs execution was awesome just late... cost for being late 50% loss of stock(though we would have lost that much anyway in this market). You may also be right about the mp3 player. Its not the killer app for sales, but would be a nice line to start off with. I was reading more about the DIMD player and the thing sounds nicer and nicer, it can hold and extra 32MB of ram and play for 32hours with 1 AA lithium. Only problem for the mass market is who has software to feed the player(other than free warez mp3s...which I know nothing about ; ))? DIMD gives you software to rip CD audio to mp3 but most people can't install RAM how are they going to make mp3s? I often think about how most computer users find the ON switch : ) if they can't do the RAM thing? So this is a player made for the tech.(few million people), till the net becomes faster (20-30min. to download 1 song is not fun without getright)and more FOOL proof. One thing I do like about MP3 is the fun of downloading music you see being chat about or trying imports that are totally new to you without any cost. Also the garage bands are at time fun to hear (CREAFs midi web site is the same idea... music made by the little guy). This stuff can't be done with cds or Mtv really or if so at a high cost about $20 or more for import CD's and if its not top 10 you never hear it on radio or tv. The Taiwanese creaming the market I don't know if that would have an impact over name brands much. I really only buy SONY, Pioneer or AWIA stuff in general, if CREAF can make in roads in this area I feel it would be a nice way to slowly grow the company and to add stability to the stock. Also it would add to the PE... that alone would make this stock JUMP. The mix of the two High margin high risk products as it has now and high quality lower margin lower risk products like that of Sony would work well. I know it has risk and that market is full but which market is not? Creaf with its high tech know how I feel can also make some HOT products that would be a fresh mix of high tech in consumer products and still be easy to use as are CREAF cards. Also the market has had a few names move in since Sony... why not CREAF? Like I said before not much to risk since it owns all it needs to make such things and is not much or a jump... more like a step. With the purchase of Cambridge I really think it's a step CREAF will make anyway in a few years. From my GenX view I LOVE Sony but would love to see its quality in a more funky package... must ALL walkman be black or silver? Must ALL computers be white? How about a cool pattern on the casing? Things like this sell(its the only thing selling the iMAC) ; ). Adam-
