Marc,
What really would be nice is for Jack Kay to pre-announce that PTEC's revenues were running ahead of expectations. Such an announcement would link Phoenix to the recent industry's successes in PC sales, and perhaps get analysts to realize that all PCs and information appliances incorporate BIOSs.
Regards,
Jules
