Hi, Stan-- I don't think you'll find anybody attacking you here. We want the story about this up and coming company to get out in a lucid and sane manner. I feel no need to hype or exaggerate HeartSoft's future potential. There is one person on this thread that is more enthusiastic than the norm, I'll grant you. Tracy is the only person that talks in terms of cartels and moonshots to $5. I would prefer to see slow, steady stock growth, based on the company's fundamentals. But fact is, this company is likely worth a lot more than even today's current stock price indicates. Granted that Ben might have gotten the word out on what was coming together last year, when the stock price was dropping to the depths of 12.5¢, but I believe Ben has a good sense of priorities, and by doing what he did then, we are seeing the results now. Sales: Yes, one single school district will not enable HeartSoft to buyout MicroSoft. Some school districts may be worth more than others. For example, there is one school district that HeartSoft might sign whose contract would be worth circa $100,000. That is only for the first installment of Thinkology, there is a second chapter in the works for release this fall, and with the 1st installment (Clarity) meeting with such a warm reception by the market, I see no reason the second set would not also be in equal demand. There are ~22,000 school districts in the U.S. There are 200 school districts in Australia. How many more in Canada and the Pacific Rim might be looking for quality software for their expensive computers? As for rave reviews, Thinkology has already gotten them from leading educational magazines...a five star review from the #1 'zine in the field, something that less than ten percent of the software looked at by them wins. Ben has stated elsewhere that the audit done in preparation for becoming fully reporting required the holding back of the last three 10Q's...we will be seeing them all by the 15th of February.ragingbull.com As for financing...it's a good question, the answer to which I am waiting for, also. Thanks for asking the questions, Stan. I enjoy answering them. Cheers! Rick
