Mark Correct me if I am wrong - Del's salary is in the 300k to 400k range per annum. He received a initial bonus of 3 million when he signed on, which is high but not too bad as a one time thing. Your message complains about the "750 K " he received this quarter, while it is more like 100K. regards Axel

Re: "He makes too much money to justify his position. He as to either show his support by spending his own money, or he has to go. Where would this quarter be with the additional 750K they paid him for the last three months?" I am not investing in INPR because of Del. I have vented my frustrations in the past on this thread towards him until I realized that I am a grown man who is responsible for his own actions. I also realized that he, like the rest of the world, has been hit with circumstances way beyond his control with the Asian crisis -which is still effecting the stock. I feel if any of the world liquidity crisis did not occur INPR would be a different story this very day. And it is because of that very fact and INPR's present condition I feel hopeful and remain convinced that the very near future is about to be rewarding. For me to quit and give up on INPR with it's current state would be giving up at a time when all the rewards are upon us. It may not be as fast as I want or like or think it should be but I do realize it is moving in the right direction. There is lot's of competition and it is no easy task but the company has shown it has an ability to make some money. No they are not the cream top of the heap type company or management but they are not totally trashing everything either. I feel this is how one gets value at the bottom and with patients. If they change one man at the top I will still feel the same and if he is a better person then Del then all the more rewarding. But I am not going to tell someone else they are foolish for sticking with it or going away I will just keep playing my small profits game till the big one comes in. I personally feel that will be some time into the second half of this year but am hoping for anytime sooner! TTOSBT
