Boy, I don't know, but I'm hangin' on. My meager account was finally recovering from losses here. I missed a sell due to a slightly miss placed limit order at 21cents-shoulda been at market- I'd have gotten .18 at least. After that, I didn't take the opportunity I had for well over a month as I recall, to sell for .14 to .18- which would have been a nice profit. That was almost two years ago.

There is no news I can find. I bought this stock based on Information I received from a trial to a stockletter called Tiapan- they didn't recommend it, just named it as a possible play on the distant future of a "model-t" infancy industry. It indicated that this company had done the bulk, anyway, of the Virtual Reality simulations for NASA since the 70's- through the early 90's. About a year and a half ago as I recall, when this stock tanked from .06 on down, I definitely read, at about the same time, in Popular Science, of another Company that won a big Virt. Reality contract with NASA. Putting two and two together, I presumed the last of any contract this company had with NASA was gone- pure speculation based on circumstantial evidence. One virtual headset product supposedly was made by this company, but the Web page I visited to read about it was NOT this company, but another with a similar name. I've yet to hear they ever made such a product anywhere but here on this thread, and I don't know that they didn't! Or don't!

My bottom line was that the folks behind the work for NASA had to be some of the best and most knowledgeable such folks in the business. It was my gamble. Now I'm lookin' for 10 bucks. HEHEHE. With no reason what-so-ever to imagine it! But that's where I will sell some!

I wonder if those fine minds are still with this company? I wonder what they are doing now? I'll keep searching.

Dan

Now that I've posted a bunch of nothing, here's some more. I just got a quote from here qs.secapl.com and guess what it shows? .01 EPS!!! I just don't know whether to believe it. But perhaps business really is good in the collecting royalties from that VR game center business. I visited an apparently similar such place in San Diego a couple of years ago...and boy oh boy do those kids ever become addicted, or what? What? What's going on? This doesn't show on other quote services. :-(
