To all Ashton thread participants...Please help if you can. I live in Oklahoma and know a number of people whose homes and lives were devastated by last night's numerous tornados. If any of you would like to help the victims, one of our local television stations is collecting money for the Red Cross which will go to the thousands of victims of this tragedy. If you would like to make a donation which will help those who lost some or all of their possessions, and those who lost loved ones, you can make a donation by calling the Tulsa television station KTUL Channel 8 toll free at 1-800-615-5885. If the lines are busy, please keep trying. These people desperately need financial help (via the Red Cross) for the most basic necessities like food, water and clothing. Again, the number is 1-800-615-KTUL (1-800-615-5885). Thank you for your prayers and financial assistance. Dexx

mst2000, I noticed that you just joined the SI only yesterday ( MAY 5th, 1999) Thus, for the record : ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT related, working for, or paid ( directly or indirectly) by ASTN for any services you offer them to promote their issues ?? Are you sure you are not affiliated or an instruement of a PR campaign in any way ??? This is for the record sir.

Your revenue predictions are a pipe dream. Any institution will TRY a new system. The ASTN VWAP product will be undergoing a TRIAL, there are no obligations or contractual minimums. REDI, ISLD, INCA have all given us software and in some cases hardware. BFD, everybody will do that. The revenue models strewn all over this thread assume a high price (call it 1.5 cents, I don't care, it's still unrealistic) and then they multiply by POTENTIAL transactions. Those will take years, there is NO way this thing turns profitable this year and the chances are VERY high that this thing goes BK alltogether. High cash burn, low revenues and lack of distribution channel all work heavily against a very weak balance sheet. Nicht zer gut...
