Sammy Boy; 1. Jay Richardson is a strong money man. He was the force behind the clean up of Plaintree. He's the reason why Plaintree stil has the cash on hand to stay in business. 2. Colin Beaumont did not leave he is remaining as CTO and as a director. 3, Of course it's just a hope but perhaps we'll see the HQ series come out with Colin as a strong technical force and Jay making sure that money dosen;t get pissed away. 4. ONGOING RESTUCTURING means additional cutbacks. Hey where are the Delaney boys??? 5. So far the Dallas office remians open. You would think that if these guys can sell Plaintree they could sell anything!!!!!! So they must be staying for a reason. 6. Sam Give me a buzz....... 7. Charlie what do you hear. 8. Plaintree MIllionare's Club files for chapter 11. Hoping to reopen soon as the HQ five and dime emporium. 9. Steve okay you were right we were wrong 10. Jay.. pay a couple of bucks and wriet something once in your life you cheap SOB!!!! 11. Tried suing my broker by saying Cisco I meant Cisco but that didn't work. Tape has me saying PLaintree 12. Tomorrow is another day..............or is it!!!!!

Well, Alcatel bought Xylan yesterday for $1.7 billion yesterday, about 4.7 times trailing sales. Go back 3 years or so and you will find that Xylan and Plaintree were comparable in sales. Just indicates to me the magnitude of the screw-up under Bruce. Somehow Xylan executed and Plaintree didn't. Fortunately, I made some profit on Xylan, but it is only a fraction of my losses on Plaintree. At this point there is hardly any point to selling Plaintree, except to gain tax losses in my taxable account. So what are the odds that anything will come out of the association with PMCS?
