<<To me the significance of Virtuosity's addition of Portico to its existing line-up is that they (who should know) see incremental value beyond (or at least different from) Webley, Wildfire, etc.>> IMO -- Virtuosity sees GMGC as the only VUI play for the internet and that makes GMGC a very important addition to their sales arsenal. I was kind of surprised that they refered to Portico in their PR as follows: Portico (sic) which essentially requires Web access to utilize some of its primary features, takes advantage of the most sophisticated Web interface of the three products to provide advanced schedule management, stock information, and more. They made it sound like "web access" was a detriment to using the service as opposed to being it main calling card. It will be interesting to see if the price can sustain itself. Smoe guy on the Yahoo thread is predicting an eminent GMGC news release. He says he has an excellent past record of predicting same. We shall see what we shall see. biff
