AILP wins big IBM contract!!!

IBM Awards ALPNET Substantial Contract
PR Newswire - January 27, 1999 10:45

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- ALPNET, Inc. (Nasdaq: AILP), the global information services company today announced that it has been awarded a substantial contract by IBM Europe. The contract is to translate into 31 languages all of the marketing materials, brochures, technical specifications, newsletters, etc., for various IBM divisions, with add-on Desktop Publishing services.

The business will be managed by ALPNET UK's head office in Croydon, just outside of London, which has extensive experience in providing multilingual translation and production services to the IT industry. The contract is for an indefinite period, and will utilize ALPNET's global network of native- speaking translators, editors and IT specialists. In keeping with ALPNET's global strategy, the translations will be done in the target countries, to ensure that the terminology and languages are up-to-date, and that the translators can work closely with IBM's local marketers. ALPNET will be logged on electronically to IBM's Marketing Outputs Plan database, which gives both parties online access to production forecasts, project progress, budgetary information, delivery status, etc.

Bob Stanley, ALPNET's UK Commercial Director, said "IBM selected ALPNET as a result of extensive market research and testing among the world's leading translation providers. The key factors in IBM's decision to award ALPNET this substantial contract were our global resources network and excellent track record with several IBM divisions. We are confident that we can provide the first-class service that IBM demands."

ALPNET is the largest publicly owned dedicated supplier of worldwide translation and product localization services, with more than 500 employees working in 16 countries throughout Europe, Asia, North America and South America.

You only loose when you sell. Remember the last time NAVR went down to under 10? Yikes, 100-200 shares at a time. Any ideas? Tick tock tick tock. Time's running out and soon. Only (5) more shopping days? Annette I wish the eggs dance was as good as the aol dance, but how will that navr step go? Is it 2 steps fwd. 1 step back? I'm finished digging in. My bunker in the bush is set up and MyAssets ready to Rock. Think I'll sit back and watch a bit.
Go NAVR !!!!!

Shorts are welcomed!

Annette, with the relatively small NAVR float, I'd welcome any shorts now and up to the 2 days before actual NetRadio IPO. More lambs for the fire. I have added more to my NAVR position at low $15 yesterday, and will add more on any moderate to significant pullback. After IPO, I will consider joining the shorts, not until then. Only fools will try to time every day to day movement in the face of an impending IPO.
