Cowpland has to be so full of sh*t in that article. Here is a few choice statements that I think shows he's full of it.The Citizen: It must have hurt to have to sell one-quarter of your personal stake in the firm to cover the loan? Mr. Cowpland: Yes, on the other hand I've got plenty of assets anyway. I'd rather run hassle free with what I've got than have to waste time working with banks. Corel is also going through an intense transition period, so the last thing I want to do is fight on two fronts. If he had plenty of assets last year why did he say sales were fantastic just before he dumped a lot of his shares and then all of sudden big sales troubles. I still think the OSC must change its reporting rules for insiders to help prevent this. What's happening with that US class action suit against this bum?Mr. Cowpland: Well, absolutely. On top of that, I know what I'm doing. I've had 30 years of experience in high tech and if you look at the pattern, it's been non-stop growth -- maybe not smooth growth all the time, but growth. The fact is, we've been able to point this ship always in the direction of where the biggest opportunities are. If throwing darts to determine your next product is knowing what your doing then maybe he knows what he's talking about.What happen to Mitel crashed and burned then sold out. I take that back he has got 24 mil from his stock sale last year after hyping the company up.Mr. Cowpland: We've got the hottest network computer on the planet and the software to run on it. Remagen is software that lets corporations access applications like WordPerfect suite or even Microsoft Office running on a server (a large computer that doles out software programs to people on a computer network). We'll also have the new Alta software, which will help corporate teams collaborate electronically. So here we are poised, leading in three of the most important technologies of the next decade. And they're all about to unfold in the next few weeks. I never made it to Comdex this year but last year I never did see that invisible server and the NC was only used for video display. If this is what you call hot.. I don't think so.Mr. Cowpland: Period. We've always delivered on our technology; and we stand behind the products. So basically, we're not finding any difficulty with corporations accepting us. In fact, we can't tell you who they are right now,but we're in serious discussions with some of the biggest companies in the world who are extremely keen to take our technology. They want to see our Remagen. What ever happened to COJ. Mr. Cowpland: You'd be amazed what the scenario will look like in six months time. Anybody who's being negative now will look pretty silly six months from now. If the Citizen wasn't such a lame paper maybe they could have asked him a tough question or two like if he would resign in six months if his promise doesn't come true. I wonder if Cowpland has ever heard of the boy that cried wolf. He sure is showing the signs of that boy. Maybe he is getting into more money difficulties and it's time to pump up the share value. Once again show me the BEEF JMHO Mike
