NEW INVESTORS: read this....repost from Manfred and Raging Bull: To: +Dave Gore (127 ) From: +Manfred von Dogbreath Friday, Mar 5 1999 7:59PM ET Reply # of 156 Interesting post from Raging Bull: By: ohucan2 Reply To: None Thursday, 4 Mar 1999 at 5:06 PM EST Post # of 38 THIS IS WHAT I KNOW. . . After reading all the anxiety on this board, I called the "corporate headquaters" number that's been floating around this board and asked for Virtual Games. "Sorry, wrong number." Then I started to panic, so I called the number at the bottom of the Compaq release. I was handed off to a pleasant enough man who told me: The Compaq deal was a preexisting aggreement before Multichip was stock swapped into Virtual Games. "yes, the news release is real, yes the deal is real, we'll probably be changing our name in another week" anymore questions, please don't hesitate to call." Ok, so know I feel a bit better, but still skeptical. So, I call Compaq and ask for Jim Newton, the guy quoted in the release. He calls me back (to my surprise). I tell him I saw his name in a Virtual Games release and he says "Who?" — my heart sinks. So I say "Multichip" and he lights right up, "Oh sure, Multichip. Yeah, they've got a real solid technology that we're supporting...working with them... have made a substantial investment in time and money. . .we'll be with them at the Las Vegas show, and we'll be presenting it to Disney with them and Disney Quest. We've (Compaq) done business projections and we think there is a real good future in this technology." This is an engineer from Compaq talking now, not some BS PR man or insider hoping to cash out. This guy had absolutley NO reason to lead me on. So. . .me and my money stays here.Post this around the world for me. My portfolio needs a winner.
