It is a fool who knows not what they speak about. Everything in TMrent's last post is absolute BULL CRAP! Now Diva is going to put SFA out of business with their overpriced server and their 30 months of testing to make thier homemade solution work on a little system in Pennsylvania. What a joke. I hope the fools (calling names is actually quite healthy and posting what one would say if they were face to face is acceptable IMO) who are sending TMRENT private messages have dumped all their stock based on hisr silly and uninformed postings (not including industry articles) . Contrary to TMRENT, I have posted real information coming from industry sources that are far more credible and experienced than TM. It is healthy to have a dialog when someone has a genuine interest in finding out the facts to evaluate a company and your investment. What TM does serves no purpose. He won't answer to his credibiility. I feel I have proven mine through my postings. He has all but misled people on this board many times in the past and continues to paint a picture that is flawed and not based on what is really happening. I think it is fair to name call rather than sit down and go over every post to show how many times others were right and Mr. Rent and his old debate mate Tang were wrong. I would simply hope that people would remember or go read the record as to who said what and when. They will then know why I (and often Ken) lash out at TM's stupid assertions about CCUR technology and competitors. He wants to take advantage of the chronic uncertainty that many people on this thread have developed due to the eratic behavior of the stock. The stock has been somewhat dissapointing to date (only if you bought above $4) , yet the company is doing better than ever. No doubt Mr. Rent has some connections to Diva and Ncube. His intentions here are not to help investors decide the future of CCUR, but to simply make every attempt to attack their technology or allude to their demise with little to no proff of his opinion. Ken and some others here have been around this thread longer than I and they seem to be the only ones who know his game. TMRENT has dissapeared for periods when good CCUR news or announcements shattered his past assertions. I am extremely confident that he will have a similar experience going forward. And yes, VOD is not hard to do based on what the CEO of SFA has stated and what the chief technology officer of Time Warner hast stated. Stay tuned, CCUR will make TM look like a fool and their isn't any polite way to put it.

January 29, 1999: Earnings Rise 37% at S-A Atlanta -- Robust sales of its Explorer 2000 interactive digital set-tops fueled record second-quarter revenue at Scientific-Atlanta Inc. for the period ended Jan. 1. Revenue for the quarter was $310.7 million, a 5 percent increase, and earnings were up by 37 percent to $19.2 million, or 25 cents per share. For the first half of the fiscal year, S-A reported revenue of $568.2 million, compared with $589 million in the previous year. Net income for the first six months of the fiscal year was $34.2 million, or 44 cents per share, compared with $31.3 million (40 cents) in the prior year. The company said that so far, 17 cable companies have committed to deploying the Explorer 2000 system, and 89 sites have been committed to date, with more than 17 million basic subscribers and 25 million homes passed. Sales of analog set-tops were also strong during the quarter, with more than 530,000 standard and advanced-analog units shipped. Wall Street reacted favorably to the report. At midday Friday, S-A's shares had risen by $1.94, to $31.94 apiece. - 1/29/99

Jeff, if Tmrent turns out to be correct on anything he posts I will be the first to give him full credit for it. So far, he's not posted anything that has been verified to be correct. Ask Steve Olivier if I will give credit where credit is due. I made fun of Steve's market calls for months on end. BUT he's proved to me that he knows what he is doing, many many correct calls on CCUR, only one incorrect call and that was primarily due to the Asia fiasco, which no one could foretell. Same for Goodboy, he's only been incorrect on one thing to my knowledge and that's the timing of the rollout of IVOD. Everyone has been wrong on that, it's taken much longer than originally anticipated, although I posted after the Orlando show in 97 that things were going to be slow. I'll give credit to the Janitor if he deserves it. So far Tmrent has not earned it. Maybe he will in the future but until he does he gets no credibility from me. Ken
