All I see is that MM made killing this morning jerking this thing all over the place. I watched last sale on realtime bounce as much as 3/4 point in less than a minute.

Guess you could say MM took Magic players to school this morning.

That said, IMO the story is still intact. If this stuff is good enough for us to be here then some bigger fish gonna want GMGC real bad because of the potential customer base.

SUN sounds plausible to me since they are doing all this internet company talk over there. How else will they go from hardware company to internet company unless they start delivering solutions.

WARNIING - this is a rumor site - but, if true - a great combo. Might explain why MS is bailing. I think the TELCO's are worried about playing with MS. Anyway, I would love to see this combo.

With word that Apple is secretly planning an acquisition behind closed doors, sources have pointed their finger at General Magic, a voice recognition technology firm.

"...Apple Computer had originally invested in General Magic several years ago, along with Motorola and AT&T. However, the corporation received over $6 million in funds from Microsoft in 1998. General Magic currently has a market cap just over $200 million."
