To the board... I happen to come across a good article on our competitor EMC. Mr. Mike "the SALESMAN" Cooper's DST and Micronet market potential are ENORMOU$$...EMC hopes to achieve 10 billion in revenues...siliconinvestor.com ''Virtually every trend that exists in high tech drives the need for more storage,'' Ruettgers said. Caught the PSInet interview "Live", from memory... Mr. Dave "the Personality" Gardy was excellant as were his guests in terms of providing some insight, background and details. Someone e-mailed a question to PSInet "Are you looking at Ampex DST and Micronet "Genisis" for hardware solutions?" Answer - (PSI) "Well I guess we'll start..." (TVontheWeb) "...this relationship is only three weeks old (PSI + TV) we will be getting around to that..." Was that you HAL? Randy? fess up' 2nd...(TVontheWeb) "...we are moving to larger facilities and hiring like mad..." 3rd e-mail question: "Is there going to be a takeover?" Dave Gardy "NO!" Was that you Gus? BAM? The synergy of PRnewswire (30,000 plus business customers including 75% Fortune 500) releasing "stuff" about TVontheWeb & PSInet(50,000 business customers) enhances our (AXC's) presence and potential for sales up against EMC and NTAP. This displays one part Mr. Ed "Cousin Eddie" Bramson's GENIUS. Economics! Rather than having to spend $$ 250,000,000 on PR and ADS let the sister company promote "big brother and the holding company". I am beginning to think long term, hardware revenues alone (with the possible strategic relationsip(s) (IBM? SUN?) of 100% 1999 $150mm, 150% 2000 $375mm, 150% 2001 $ 1 BILLION...we have the launch pad for hardware sales per synergies of AXC's "other" parts. Swamp Fox Charlie
