[Abrams] Why is Abrams still listed on website as board member if he was kicked off 2 months ago? AWRE makes me sick. I hope you are right about TXN suit. MB

Dr. You have stated several times how HUGE LU 5ESS deal is to WSTL...I suspect that it doesn't compare to the BEL deal??? Please correct me if I am wrong? Thanks!!!

<frog cowboys> LMAO, you know doc I was thinking last night that there must have been some mighty heavy laughing @ some of the Wstl officers dinner tables last night. Still getting a kick out of it myself. <Remember that cand. ptt deal I told you about.> Yeah & Ill have to admit I didn't put much weight on it @ the time but am now really warming up to the thought. That might be just what this ole dog needs. Could change the way some view things. As for Sa. Now Ill have to say Im impressed & thats just not something as easily done as some may think. <Does AWRE rent these bozo analyst> I know well what your saying & think Ill reserve comment on that for now. I always like to keep in mind when it comes to Awre the location of that company. No doubt about it Awre has picked up a gunslinger or two as it now looks like Wstl has. <licenses for nothing and the Pr for free...> Its been a though day Doc & when I read this post I about fell out of my chair. Its good to see you humorous here & it couldn't have come @ a better time as I needed it in a bad way. Thanks for posting the info & taking some of the flames that accompany them. I put those in the back of my mind & will put it to use if oppy arises. I went back & read Joel A & your right he has a bunch of credentials. <Frogtel> gggggggggggg Now Doc you somehow knew Id like that. I think maybe I feel one coming on. Nah you got me beat here & hey, we will save that for a rainy day. :} Frogtel LMAO To all the longs, I regrettably say that Ive been forced into a situation like Amati (non financial) in that I had to dump today. Man this sucks! I hope this is a plus for you. I really wanted to find out for myself what happens w/ this investment that would & should have been 12 months long @ the least. Only positive is that its cash is in hand & I don't know why it had to be this way. I really hope that some of these individuals are reading this & it has nothing to do w/ Si or my Isp. I can't go into it here & will be reading this board even if I have to use the TV to do so. A very special thanks to my girl friend who has been as understanding as one could be & to the folks who have taken extreme loses & yet posted some of the best info here. Best of luck folks & Ill be back if things are still in order when I get some funds moved around. Dug

DR. TECHNO << TXN suit will destroy the AWRE unknown business model, licenses for nothing and the Pr for free... >> You remembered my tune from the Amati thread in years past. ;-)) I like the lyrics. ;-) I also agree with you about TXN killing little ol' high flying AWRE some day. I base this mostly on Pat Mudge's old posts in the Amati thread referring to how Amati thought Aware was infringing on their patents. I may be wrong, but I really liked listening to Pat and she is a very smart woman and had great sources. Doc, Always like reading your posts. Trey is also great to listen to. Been frustrating in this one. Like you, I got out. Had some shares ~11 and then a little more at just under 4 from early September, but chose to bail from the last of my Wstl at 7 in early November on a pop. I wish those luck who hang on, bc i do think it could get interesting here. They could go on a mad run. I couldn't do with the uncertainties anymore. I have my money tied up elsewhere right now, so I'll just watch from the sidelines. I also want to short AWRE but I also wanted to short eBay a long time ago (thank god i didn't ;-). Seems strange to remember a few years ago that the ADSL biggies were 'surely' going to be Westell and Amati. Now it seems like Amati disappeared into TXN for a high value (not complaining ;-) and we still haven't seen the high volume chips. And Westell has been in marketing 'hell' limbo with shareholders scrambling hard to find out if they will continue to hold their crown jewels (BA). I shouldn't be talking them down though, because as most people know, a company nowadays doesn't need to show a profit to have a market cap in the Billions. ;-) I don't know what they teach at MBA schools anymore, because it seems like the stock market now just throws the old books out the window. dr., you keep up the good work. adsl is finally here, and westell is one of the only pure plays. i wish good luck to all those long. all imho pigboy
