I dont own this thread, so I wont be so blinkered as to ignore the
possibility you outline, except to say again(because you forgot
to emphasise it) that Softwindows and RealPC are the ones that
they get their cash flow from, and NTRIGUE was the Jewel in the
Crown that they sold to keep going last FEB. So good a product
was it that it became the core component at the front end of
Citrix products, and Citrix hit $90 yesterday.
Rather than be bought out completely then, which would only have
taken another few million, so good was their future product
concept (as they saw it), they instead took $14 million, and
kept plugging on, to an entirely deserved result today.
I support your statement claiming that theirs is a technology
"FIRST".

I have been in the Computer Industry for 30 years, and
started selling flight simulators for Redifon UK, culminating
today with significant involvement in software development
in Ireland, and I had occasion to meet two salespeople recently
from Insignia. I have seen many a hi-flying salesman over the
years and know his humour when things aint goin so well, so I
relate to you that the two I met were absolutely ebullient,
cocky,hyped up, bursting at the seams with "Piss and Vinegar"
( an old expression in the Bull Pen to describe a salesman on
a roll) and staring down the barrel of £300k and up per CUSTOMER
they bring in......you can see the mood inside the company;
they are all absolutely flying, and literally have so many
"prospects" they could literally "start charging the customer
for the time taken to come and talk to him".
What I would'nt give to be back in the "Bull PEN" with this
going on!!
