FF..Recently, I also recently paid a visit to the local Mac store to check out the Ipod. The sales reps really knew their Ipod. Gateway needs to do a bit more new product training.
HH
CAL_LAW.. I went there this morning..I was very impressed with the player..It felt good sounded good...I was not impressed with the staff there at all..It took three people one after another to figure the thing out so I could listen to it..After a few minutes, I did not need them at all..I think that I will wait for a Cornice based player anyway..
HH
CAL_LAW..I think I read a post of yours on Agoura that you went to the Woodland Hills Ca. Gateway store..If so, how was your experience there??
HH
moxa1..that is the exact same reply I got from him when I asked about...IBM...Intel...Samsung...Toshiba etc...etc... We sure seem to be doing a lot of business with lots of major companys and hearing nothing about them in years. Statements from current management should be taken with a grain of salt... I now have a different perception of edig reality than I used to...Things will only happen when you see it in official PRs...even then...with these guys...you still don't know..LOL
HH
milplease..I think that you are correct..That was when the problems with managing flash folders surfaced...That was how the mucro OS was invented..The product itself may have been a flop...but out of it edig core technology was created..Lets see what they do with it now..
HH
ff... HE PROBABLY WAS A TAD EMBARRASSED..calling all the posters who did not have his rose colored picture of the ces "whiners".. I would be if I was in his shoes... been there done that in my previous alias on RB...You know... the school of hard knocks...LOL
HH
mark4..have not seen that one yet...everybody is making one...Just the other day, I saw an ad for another JB produced by Gibson ( the Guitar maker)
HH
FF..I think that they should go one step further..There are names...big names on that page that should be totally removed. Toshiba...no more Dataplay
IBM....we used to buy microdrives from them...no more
Samsung...no more Dataplay
After several years of no news from these companys...one has to surmise that there is nothing. I would like to be wrong, but these blasts from the past could be misleading to anybody trying to do honest DD..
IMO...
HH
MH...I like your style//
MH..I already am a member of agoura..I haven't posted there in over a year..I tried to post a while ago..It would not post... It was not that big of a deal to see what the problem was..It does not matter..I noticed that I was the topic of discussion for a while today..All those guys are here lurking....just like I lurk over there...LOL
HH
sdr..my point was...Since most of the engineering has already been done and platforms developed...They should be able to license them to any and all..After all..in managements own words...they strive to be "agnostic", and a world standard...I by no means meant for them to squander scarce resources on not yet developed devices.
HH
FF..I cannot believe that somebody actually posted that..
HH
jtdiii...one thing that Cassie says in her post does ring true..Why would edig turn away any business that they could make even small money on...Brother...they need every dime they can make.. The announcement of the Musical contract (even if it generates ten times the money as their last venture) is far far from being a "HOME RUN". The days of the " benovelent barracuda" are gone..otherwise I would encourage them to start selling coffee mugs and baseball caps" LOL
HH
sdr..."blowout earnings" was a direct quote from RP given to shareholders...A multitude of similar statements has spewed from his mouth over the last few years...JUST FACT.....
HH
FF...thanks...pompous..I am not...frustrated..very true..feeling stupid for the multitudes of past statements that me Mr. Gullible believed..you bet ya.. Hopefully there is a turn around on the horizon..But the distrust I have for current management will linger...
HH
sdr...as a matter of fact...yes ..I am more credible ..I own a lot of shares..been in the stock for years...I want this co to kick butt more than anybody...But ..I have been on the receiving end of FF/RP carrot speak more times than I would care to admit...I would even venture to say that RP has even lied to me more than once. SO...when real credible news with the ability turn the PPS around happens...I will know the truth..
HH
kta...if you have been in edig for the last few years, you might have remembered edig's last deal with Musical..It did not even make enough money to pay for Falks car..
HH
kta...those count...but..size does matter...Gateway..who knows how many players they will sell..the number of players is important..HP disney they didn't even make one months burn rate on the profit from that one..six months later no follow up orders. F-10 it only took years (even though I know the delays were caused by F-10) no moneys have been recorded for that order...I am sure they will come...but it is the follow up orders that count the most... Digeplayer...could be the ace that edig needs..I am sure something will happen...but how much.TO ME after years of spending tens of millions of shareholder investment dollars..it is the bottom line..What I am getting at, is the small initial orders wont cut it until much larger orders come in..I remain skeptical until money flows in faster than it is being spent.
sdr..you bet it would be more credible...Because I am skeptical of edig management to close the deals...And if I get real proof..and a rise in PPS due to those contracts comming to fruition..I will appologize to edig and eat a double helping of crow ...AND will love it..
HH
NEWe...at least they're gonna break even..
HH
FF..that it is..It is a beautiful southern California day...And I am going out and enjoy it today..Nice little drive up the coast or something like that..
HH
Gee Fred..you and I sure can stir a pot...LOL..
FF...that partner page is misleading and should be ammended ..The carrots appear in many forms..
HH
Thanks Cass...I stand corrected...figures that the one left is not edig..
HH
OT..FF..true...economic recovery ...for who?? So many skilled tech jobs leaving the country...Myself, being in the movie business thas been hit hard also.. Although the major studios are making record profits, they continue to make their movies in other countries. The bottom line is ..with all the middle class jobs going off shore, who will buy the products that these companys produce..Not the people in India or Mexico..They are not paid enough to buy them>
HH
FF..it does seem that all the original design partners are no longer on PP website...That is consistant with what RP alluded to. He still could not give me a straight answer on all the other clients/partners. It now seems that Portal Player has gone the same way as Actel and Equator..And now they (edig) are trying to make shareholders believe that TI is now their big partner.. Really kind of disgusting...the total lack of business with such a high per cent of their official PRs over the last four years.
HH
FF..a few months ago,I wrote FF/RP a long letter asking to clairify the Clients/Partners page on the website. In my opinion, almost half of them do not belong there and are misleading to shareholders trying to do legitimate research. I asked how they could have large companys such as:
Sony...we are their customers..We just license their codec..
Toshiba: we almost made a Dataplay player yeras ago..nothing now..
IBM: we simply bought microdrives off of them several years ago..we were just their customer..
Toshiba..we are their customer..we just buy hard drives off of them...and so on and so...
Then the list got to Portal Player..His reply was that they were changing managements. setting up in India..AND there has been no business done with then as of four or five months ago..
HH
Cassie..probably won't be able to do much...so many shares...so many shareholders...Fred and Carly... probably not in my life time
Cassie..I know...In my line of work....If you cannot get the job done, you are replaced..It seems to be so commonplace in the business community ( large and small businesses alike) that upper management runs its business into the ground...Their egos will not let them step down for failing the shareholders..and of course...they do not want to give up their way too lofty salaries...
HH
Cassie..extra funny..exelent analogy..I heard that both FF/RP read the message boards (for entertainment value only)..I wonder if they both are on the phone right now asking Woody who his home security company is..LOL..
HH
Cassie...could be...BUT do not get me going on that bonus thing again..It ages me too fast..Cause..I wonder if they had the nerve to give themselves a performance bonus this year for landing that elusive Musical contract..
HH
FF..Me too..somehow..I suspect you and I helped pay for that house and all that goes inside it...Yuck..
HH
Cassie...on top of the battery...I do believe that there is some sort of encryption. AND...LOL..RP says they will apply for a patent...At least he did not say patent pending...He has learned over the years to not put his foot in his mouth as often...although he still does..
HH
lickily...I would prefer the existing oem to be Gateway...or the company that makes the JB for Gateway...
HH
lickily...I hope you are right...The masters of the carrot statement was not meant for the ces and its releated PRs alone..It goes back a long way.. Still you gotta admit...the Musical PR is pretty bad...I doubt that it will generate enough dough to pay for Freds car..LOL
HH
FF...OR...they are in too far and too deep to dump their shares...There a probably thousands who bought a thousand or two shares for several dollars per share...selling now would just give them back enough to take the wife out to dinner and a movie...They wait...the investment is almost gone anyways.. I did understand what you were talking about..FF/RP are masters of the carrot..Man ...would I like to see them go.
HH
Sentinel...maybe true..But the track record don't look good...EDIG's excitment in the wording of the Musical PR left a large knot in my throat...Leaving me to ask that age old question "is that all that there is" LOL..
HH
Sentinel...and tell shareholders what a sweet succuss this years ces was for edig...People are just lining up to sign contracts...BUT... being selective..only do business with companys with "Home Run Potential"
HH
MIR..thats my point...I was being sarcastic..
HH
.49 x .49 1.5 million shares..goin lower..I don't know why???
