If Larson was capable of giving me more of a warm fuzzy feeling I'd be being here. But Larson conjures up images of a latter day PT Barnum, so I'm a little nervous. A friend said that her reaction to meeting with Larson was an immediate urge to take a shower. Well, I did say a long time ago that he does remind me of a snake oil salesman... :-) I think I felt that way (the immediate urge to take a shower) with at least half of the employees that I've meet there. (Of course, I've made some very good friends over there too...to be fair...) :-) Question to the thread: what impact would some adverse court ruling in the MSFT case have on NETA? Could this be having some overhang here? (I'm assume you're talking about the BIG case with Sun/Netscape/...) Depends...how much of NETA's products that are purchased are Internet-related vs. platform-specific related and how the product is written. (i.e. can it be easily portable to another platform.) It also depends on whether the market perceives NETA as still an anti-virus software company or an Internet software company. Cheers, Joanna
