Well, to change the topic, maybe now that the laughable subscriber and revenue numbers are out, and now that we seem for the moment to have weathered the latest convertible deal, Markman will be able to find his way to releasing some information on the deals we are supposed to have. Dum spiro, spero. . Remember "Full steam ahead?"

<i have a very low tolerance for BS, i guess. sorry if i offended....> Fair enough. I'm feeling rather bitchy about this company as Sea Otter recently said, and I feel like anyone who has something to say, be it positive or negative, is welcome. Maybe you feel the motives of another poster are in question, but actually that's the nature of the beast. Anyway, what we say here is basically for the interest of about 100 people tops who happen to read this thread. I can't believe anything we post will ever move the market. No, I just hope we can continue to work together and bring information forward that will help us all make money. Sometimes that will be negative. I think it's a very valuable consideration of how bad the effect of a new convertible issue will be to the stock. Somehow I wonder how it can be positive. I live in Australia and I went back to California last month to do a little search and to tell you the truth, I didn't find much to feel good about. The people I talked to didn't leave me feeling like General Magic was going to lead the way. Most people feel the system is good and works well, but it's not clear where they have specific advantage. I feel they need to get out in front of many new products that are coming. I find it very unclear where Nuance leaves off and Magic Talk takes over. I find the fact that Webly, Mysphere and Portico all share the same platform, NT/Dialogic with Nuance is a problem if all the work GM has done with Nuance is not exclusive. This may be explainable, but it concerns me. There is more, but my family wants to go now. Lets keep the info flowing both positive and negative. Regards, Mark
