Correction - Roger Wilco to hit 50,000 by tommorrow. In less than 2 weeks. Put's Hausmann's claim of "not enough time on the market" in perspective, doesn't it? >Hausmann's referrals re: summarily dismissing his naysayers as "short-sighted folks" may not be as valid as first suspected given this Roger Wilco end-run contemporaneous with Mpath's hearme.com's Yahoo! coup In other words, the short "sided" people have been long "sighted" all along. Mpath's hearme.com isn't really a "coup" when they have built up a community of 2.5 million people while TMSR apparently has a shockwave dead link page and 0-3 conferences at any given time. It was more of a blindingly obvious choice on Yahoo's part. Apparently esecurites missed the obvious point that Yahoo's pager conflicts with PeopleLink's instant messenger and for TMSR to get any deal outside of PeopleLink, even to link it with the supremely popular ICQ, they would have to ax their relationship with PeopleLink. In fact, if I have time in the coming days, it might be amusing to do a comparision with TMSR's promises, statements, and press releases with reality. They really have performed below even my pessimistic expectations ( I expected a portion of the online gaming niche market) <Insert evil shorter laugh here> Glad to see esecurities slowly wake from the Hausmann reality distortion field. One item left though: This IPO dream. Esecurites, with all due respect, you have proven without a shadow of a doubt that you possess what could be kindly described as economic naivety. For your edification an IPO requires quite a bit of money and time. You don't just run out and IPO in a few weeks. Lawyers, underwriters - the whole lot is required. And an IPO is hardly a guarantee of more money, despite what newcomers to the market might believe. I would point out that even the Internet insanity is very chilled at this point, with blue chip internet stocks diving, and new internet IPOs actually falling the first day sometimes! Imagine that - the markets reverting to normal! And a company that had absolutely nothing to offer the market that can't be gotten already - and that only amounts to a few $100,000 in sales, is hardly an IPO candidate. I welcome TMSR to try - it would guarantee their bankruptcy. But don't worry, esecurities, as per their exciting press release, Computer Gaming World will be featuring their, oh I'm sorry PeopleLink's, instant messanger by next month for possible exposure to the percentage of CGW's 300,000 customers that are totally oblivious to the free online alternatives, but highly interested in online activities. Meanwhile ICQ will rack up another +5,000,000 downloads (this is NO exaggeration - up to 52,000,000 now) . And maybe CGW will actually review their product by then. Side note: It was stated in this forum that Ron Resnick bought 5,000 shares in recent months. This is incorrect - he sold 5,000 shares - at 12.50. There have been no buys. Hmmmm.

INTERNET--(esecurities.W)--May 16, 1999 - Smoking Guns? or What's Wrong With This Picture? First, there was no [obvious?] E3 formal nor re-release of the [previously formally announced] Computer Gaming World alliance/[July 15, 1999] launch of Talk n' Play-enabled CGWGAMING.COM nor anything re: the highly Hausmann-touted iConference E3 rollout!?...Virtually no activity at Talk n' Play conferencing site talknplay.com v. Roger Wilco whom maintains #3 most dowloaded voice/chat-enabled software at c\|net GameCenter gamecenter.com ...furthermore, TMSRs primary/only link to its major alliance partner, PeopleLink is to a version 1 link peoplelink.com ...PeopleLink site has since been updated ref/ plnk.peoplelink.com ...and then there is the 'problem'? with the non-filing of TMSRs Fiscal 1998 Shareholder PROXY SEC Form DEF 14/A [which was filed 4/13 pursuant to TMSRs 1997 filing ref/ freeedgar.com ] wherein Hausmann has recently requested the SEC to approve said delay due to 'lack of personnel' [as previously cited on this thread]...and AS A FURTHER MATTER OF RECORD TMSR senior management still has not responded to esecurities' "URGENT/PRIORITY"-marked shareholder communications, again, as previously cited on this thread...the delay in said SEC Form DEF 14/A filing may just say it all?...Roger Wilco. &copy 1999 SiliconNewswire.com.

INTERNET--(esecurities.W)--May 24, 1999 - AT&T Click2Dial vs. 'ThrustMaster's' iConference. More ThrustMaster Smoking Guns?; Does 'ThrustMaster' have the requisite Critical Mass to be taken serious as an Internet Telephony Player? AT&Ts [new] <= 7-person Internet conferencing 'rated service' Click2Dial "...Be one of the first to try AT&T's new interactive conference calling. Now you don't need an operator or special equipment to set up a conference call. All you need is your computer, internet access and a telephone to hold a business meeting with up to seven people. The people you call simply need an ordinary telephone. You can also use AT&T Click2Dial Conferencing with your family and friends for birthdays, reunions, holidays or just getting together to catch up. What's more, you are in total control. You can add, drop, mute and see who's on the call. Just download the FREE AT&T Inter@ctive Communications software and you can immediately create and conduct your own conference calls. Conference Calls are now easy calls to make..." SOURCE: &copy 1999 AT&T click2dial.att.com ...several substantive issues...contemporaneous with Talk n' Play issues e.g. Mpath, hearme.com, Roger Wilco...TMSR is launching iConference sadly as a 'ThrustMaster' product vs. a newly-emerged WeCanTalk.com IPO post ThrustMaster divestiture...'ThrustMaster' simply lacks requisite 'branding' credibility as an Internet Telephony player...also lacks the critically requisite Yahoo!, Amazon, IDTC Internet Business Model/Critical Mass generator..i.e. Talk n' Play, iConference should have been/be announcing HUGE [ATT, MCI, IDT, Yahoo!, Geocities.com, XOOM.com, Deutsche Telekom, iVillage, TheGlobe.com, MindSpring, TalkCity, ...ad infinitum] alliances on a daily/weekly basis with no end on sight...it's mid-May where is iConference? along with the WON.net and EarthLink - Talk n' Play 'formal' launch[es] [formally] announced Q1 1999?...and ThrustMaster Direct st6.yahoo.net should simply be the [de facto] DELL of gaming hardware with 'Mountain Dew'-like compelling internet advertising on, at least, the top ten (10) sites at hot100.com ... another Resnick issue?... © 1999 SiliconNewswire.com.
