Well, looks like in the last 6 months, the fundamental story for the company has not deteriorated at least, it has only improved a bit. So, those who base their invs. style on this criteria, why would they sell at this point? On the contrary, they will simply load up right now, and stay put to watch the action after earnings. Naturally, street houses will not say a single upgrade word, until their bellies are filled to the fullest first, and this low price may be giving them very good opportunities. And later, when the price is already up at 6, 7 level they will upgrade it to drive it to 10-13 level, at which point they and their best clients will start distributing slowly. The momentum may carry it further however to 15-16 level, and suddenly when the big boys' bags become empty again, they will come out and downgrade! And the price will come back to 6-7 level again. Thus, this cycle will be repeated here on an 18-month period basis, ensuring that in every cycle, the flow of money simply remains unidirectional: from the little guys' pockets to the big guys' swedish bank accounts. Thats the general magic here! :-(

Stephen, Thanks for the sites. The information is unbelievable if you are willing to spend the time to dig up information. The agent info below is old news but there are some individuals that may not know anything about the site and agent technology. Also, I believe that Penware has been discussed before. Some of the information is interesting. Especially concerning the ILPF. Take care, Kurt 1. netweek.com.cn Does anybody read any of the Chinese dialects:) This looks like an older article (Magic Cap and telescript), but if you look down the page, you also see Serengeti, then Portico, and MSFT's Outlook which indicates it may be a fairly recent article. 2. trl.ibm.co.jp cseng.awl.com Danny Lange, Mitsuru Oshima IBM and aglets and general information 3. MobiNetix site d/b/a Penware, Inc. They are located in Sunnyvale and possesses two primary core competencies: data/signature capture and electronic transaction devices, and expertise in the development of application software. I don't know if they are still in business with General Magic due to the statement below about General Magic's Magic Cap (possibly Data Rover): penware.com Custom Solutions and Products Our OEM solutions incorporate signature capture into other devices, such as industrial hand-held computers and portable data terminals, expanding their abilities and adding value. Our award winning PDA application spreadsheet software includes advanced wireless communication capabilities enabling up- and down-loading of data for use with several PDA systems, including Sharp Zaurus, Sharp Wizard, General Magic's Magic Cap and Windows for Pen Computing. 4. It looks as though General Magic is a member of the Internet Law and Policy Forum (ILPF) 1998 Development Committe. I didn't know it existed before today. It looks like a lot of heavy weights on this committee. Except the Warburg investment firm:) ilpf.org The home site is: ilpf.org notice the: Survey of International Electronic and Digital Signature Initiatives.. I wonder if this could be related to MobiNetrix and GMGC in terms of the legal aspects of electronic signatures?
