Ah! So you are saying Steven is Mike then. Interesting. I never said it was put on my desk. I saw it on his/hers. I asked a question that was answered with this comment. "Well you're right...you can't protect that....but I'm sure someone is thinking about that". This about the technology YOU claim will save the company. I came to the conclusion that if no one had thought about what I just said, then there was no way Corel would ever be successful at selling it. Is it a big deal. No! It just made me think no one had thought about marketing the product...just showing off the technology. Yes I loved the technology...but great technology doesn't increase a dead companies stock price. Sales and a sales execution plan does that. It was after this that I was told that Corel was on it's last laps with WP that I decided to ditch the stock. I just decided to wait until after the qtrly results, and I watched as a meaningless stock announcement came and went, and the mutuals never jumped back in, and decided, who cares if it goes to 4 or 5 or 6. It will be a bunch of idiots all clamoring for a dream that will never materialize. I'll let people like you live in dreamland. I've been there for years with Corel, wides up and just left. You must be sad as I piped up to piss you off after I bailed. PS: I'll bet you $ 10K US that I can prove I saw Mike, (Steve?), and that this is what I saw, asked and was told. You set it up though a Lawyer and I'll name names and explain places. Put your money where your mouth is. Oh...and one more thing. If only one "guy" at Corel did most of the jbridge core technology, isn't anyone somewhat worried? I'd be. Another thing....as you didn't say anything about my Oracle prediction...I know you know about the Red Hat announcement. What is your take on that?
