Nord, I have followed your comments for quite a while on this thread and have found them well informed about events inside of SSPI and on their products and prospective customers. I've also seen you make nearly endless defenses of the management of the company and make endless postive spins out of pretty poor results. However, this comment is just plain silly: It is not the companies fault that global slowdown and the dsp core companies technology had to catch up to SPECTRUM's technological capabilities for them to have the opportunity to implement their plan. So, what is it? A global slowdown or core product delivery behind schedule? In many ways they are mutually exclusive. If they haven't had product to deliver because of cores being late then the "global slowdown" didn't have much to do with it, right? Maybe the real problem is that the company has spent a great deal of time and energy developing custom products that don't have a lot of leverage because there will never be large scale deployment of them. I don't know how many times you've cited the Bell & Howell order, but, the truth is that right now there is no significant follow on to that order. How many other "ins" are in the same boat?
