<off-topic> I have found two "awards" that are pretty consistently meaningful. It's hard to go wrong with these picks:

- PC Magagine Editors Choices - there are typically 2 of these in each shoot-out. Pick which ever one appeals more to you. Makes avoiding costly mistakes easy.

- winfiles.com (was windows95.com) WINNer awards. (shareware) When you are faced with 50 shareware packages in a category, go with the WINNer!

Interestingly put, Bill. Which brings me to my next remarks:

I am waiting. That's all. You wanna wait with me? You're welcome. You don't wanna wait? Well, there's always other things to wait on.

BF? I was right when I said this stock was more than a phone machine in a room; I was right to tell Jon Tara he was wrong, that there'd be no SEC investigation; I was right when I said that SIM disgruntlement was behind the Wired reporting; I was right when I said that SD just picked a vulnerable candidate; I was right when I said we should withhold judgment on Hayton until we hear his side of the story; I was right when I said echoMEDIA and SIM were not enough and that more on the commerce side was needed (read eCommerce Corp); I was right when I said we would eventually see an audit; I was right when I said the merger will happen. And guess what? I will be right once this stock is trading on Nasdaq as a publicly reporting company.

But I was wrong to think that the share price would never again be as low as it is today. But if you think that these have been legitimate sells that have brought the price down this low, I have a real tough time believing that. I think market makers, and their cohorts, make money on run-ups. The lower the price that is run up, the less money that is at risk for the gain and the higher the potential of the run-up. I wish I knew enough about this to absolutely, unqualifiedly say that it's the market makers that have brought us to this price. But I don't know that, I only suspect that.

And there's one more thing I'm right on: The right thing to do is to wait!

[Note to Terry: When there is this much opposition, a middle ground is worthless! Me against them? I don't care. I'll be right again!

To me, that could indicate that awards are completely meaningless and therefore should not be considered in the evaluation at all.

The point is that if a system has no awards, it must have something seriously wrong, as just about anyone should be able to produce them. As it turns out, all systems we're considering can produce several awards that they've received. Usually it depends on what the review at whatever publication ranked them personally was looking for.
