Even though I'm not posting, I still hold this stock since I first bought it at 16 (a very very long time ago). I did trade some, and my cost is by now, much lower. I was out for a while as I sold at 4 1/8 and bought back at the bottom as much I could for the same money I had in the stock before. Now I am lurking as I keep reading this thread but, since I am not close to the kind of business the company is in, I don't have much to say except that the stock action lately has been encouraging. I am very patient and I think we will make it. Ghassan.

Hi Jerry, If you get really bored there's always the Yahoo thread: quote.yahoo.com The content ranges from well informed to wishful thinking and hype.....but.....for pure entertainment value it's pretty hard to beat. Lots of posts. For now, I think SIII is pretty much dead money until earnings. Zacks has the consensus at -.32, which I think they can beat by 5 or 10 cents. I suspect whisper numbers are already built into the price, since the company already said they thought they could beat estimates. S3 has their new drivers available for download and beta testing off their website. A review I saw posted on the Yahoo site gave high marks to the new drivers, although the boards currently shipping have the buggy drivers that have given Savage such a bad name. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dell, Compaq and IBM wins start popping up once the new drivers are shipping. I don't know what kind of executive decision allowed the chip to go to market so far ahead of a stable, usable product, but it sure did screw up revenue for the last 2 quarters. The way the Dow has been trading up and down in almost perfect 6 month cycles, I'm about tempted to try my luck trading index options. It's like riding a damn roller coaster with everyone cheering on the way up and screaming their heads off when it goes over the top. Regards, Don

Hi Jerry, I'm lurking here now and then, but since they hired another over paid executive I'm just assuming that DAMIEN has successfully bitten them all in the butt. I'm just not feeling any heart here anymore with these kind of grandiose, pretentious moves. The shareholders really got nailed on this one last year when the books were suddenly "adjusted" but management got out smelling like lavender soap. No matter how you describe it, the shareholders suffered-management didn't. I do hope I'm proven wrong, but the way this company ignores their shareholders, still has unresolved legal battles and questionable revenues is enough of an indication for me to stay away for now. Fundamentals go beyond the numbers for me and I feel these people have no sense of shareholder propriety. That's why I put my money elsewhere. JMHO. Wishing you and everyone here a harm holiday season. Onward, George
