Rich, my post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek in response to the interpretations on this thread that this guy is some sort of turnaround genious. But if you want to discuss this further, a few comments. You are basing much of your opinion of Mr.Wright's capabilities on a PR issued when he left Iwerks? Remember the wonderful PR VLNC wrote about Cal Reed when he was dumped? Do you know for a fact that Mr. Wright wasn't dumped under similar circumstances from Iwerks? When a CEO is dumped for failure to perform, have you ever seen a PR saying Mr. (fill-in-the-blank) was fired because he was an utter failure? And if Mr. Wright was so successful at "turning around" Iwerks, why has their stock fallen from $35 to $1 over the last several years? I wonder whether Iwerks shareholders would agree that this guy deserves a lot of credit for "turning around" the company? Be honest with yourself, Rich. The VLNC spinmeisters are doing a number on this one.

The new COO seems to be a good move ... I had one red flag on Corvus Systems, Inc ... if this is the same one I know of in Bellevue, WA about 15 years ago there were some ugly shenannigans going on around it ... I don't know the whole story and don't know if it was the focus of the problem or merely affected by it. Research into Corvus, Evans & Lywellan Securities, Andrew Evans, is indicated to me ... I have to be in meetings all day today. It's a little red flag ... just a little one. Maybe Roy knows how to write agood press release. ;-) Cheers!
