CCUR is at $3 7/8, as a high horse sitting money mover, I am pretty happy. As an a non-technical person, I must defer to your now self described technical prowess in this arena. Maybe Chiddix at Time Warner needs to sober up when he said VOD is not a difficult technical feat.

As for your long post, sorry about the slight name calling, but I just can't get over that the same guy who now professes that IVOD will take all of 99 to get off the ground is the same guy who said NCUBE and SGI or something like that would dominate cable VOD. That CCUR server would be best in small intranet or hotel setting because it can't scale (and the clueless folks over at SFA structured a deal to own 20% of CCUR if they sell $300 million in server, bozos). That the cable companies are looking for NT solutions when most of their current head end infrasturcture is UNIX based not NT based.

Would you please address these important statments that have proven false over the past year or would you like to continue to beat me over the head with your PHD from the school of Sarnoff? You are smarter than me, I have been righter than you on how this think would play out, with the exception of timing. I have never said that CCUR would sell 100's of systems in 1999. But selling dozens of systems is a great bet with acceleration each quarter. I think I have done pretty good in researching and understanding this industry, business model, technologies and competitions over the past year for being a non-techie. Goog luck!

As an observation, my basic Comcast cable service in NJ has had 5-10 outages in the last 2 weeks, which is a real pain as I also use the @HOME service for my speedy Internet access (when it is up). I wonder if VOD is set up to give satisfaction to customers when their movies get cut off -- or how long before Blockbuster starts looking good again.
