Web...the last time I spoke to Noam and Diane, the inference was that I was not going to see some daylight until Q2. I don't think it's easy to get black & white from these sources but I take what I can get and try to read between the lines as best as possible. Unless there has been a substantial change in the fortunes at MRVC, I expect an operating loss in Q4 and breakeven in Q1. The profitable products won't start showing up until Q2 and the exciting stuff by Q4 (that is if we are lucky and start doing what we were promised in Q4 1998). Nevertheless this is where I made my bed and I am sleeping in it. I hope the world doesn't pass me by. BTW you talk about how negative posters can or cannot affect the price of a companies stock. My belief is that it can affect it by someone who has interest in a company who might check out the board to see what others think, may run as fast as they can to one of the many companies that posters show a more positive outlook on the company they are posting on. I for one would be happy to see someone post something negative on my stock if it makes sense but usually it's just someone trying to drive the price down with redundant posts to either make their short good or lower the price to a point they would like to buy it at. For instance, look at one of Roktars recent posts where he says he almost bought back in to MRVC but the price didn't get down low enough. Would you concur that those continuous negative posts on MRVC might serve to help get the price down to his buying level? Web, stay loose like in loose, and our revenue like in revenue should increase with the fortunes of the company. Noam and the boys from Israel have lost a lot more than we have and they stand to gain a lot more than we do. We're just along for the ride. btb
