I bought in to this stock at 6 and have been riding this roller-coaster for nearly a year now. I could have bailed at one time and made a tiny profit, but I believe in the idea of Portico. What troubles me most is that no one I know (I'm a software engineer) KNOWS about Portico until I tell them. Many know of General Magic, the people who founded it and it's former product, Magic Cap. When I tell them what Portico does, they think it's cool, but not compelling - they don't run out and sign up. Maybe GM should establish a relationship with Sharper Image? They sell into the gadget-freak early-adopter market. It seems to me GM's advertising and promotion is totally ineffective. Chris
