Immitt....I have not traded this stock since the reverse split several years back but I did trade NVXE in 50,000 share chunks with regularly because it was such a perfect perdictable pattern in channels.
That being said when I did trade NVXE it was automatic based on volume and I had zero knowledge about the Company, its future are the fine people that both invest and manage NVEI.
In order to prove my point, should there be any doubts about my being truthful, there are enough local investors like Kenny, Robert, Craig, David or for that matter, ask Ray Willenberg himself.
We all need to help Brad and Ray recognize the full potential for our future.
I understand that a portion of their days are devoted to answering nasty emails or phone calls from either potential investors who read garbage on the internet or from current shareholders upset about current share price.
I admit that at times, I have been guilty and also upset about the price and want to blame others, particularly Ray. However, having spoken extensively with major shareholders this month about what our future looks like I have been reminded that it is Ray who found key leaders in our Industry and convinced them to join our Advisory board. None of these captain's of Industry joined us for the job.
I am further reminded that Brad Ketch, Tom Cooper, Ivan Berkowitz, Tom Sweeney, Dr. Henry Beck, Dr. Michael Propp, Dr. David Greaves, Dr. Walter Chen, Rich McAndrew, Ken MacLeod and Fred Sammartino have nothing to gain by associating themselves with a hoax type operation and in fact have all seen
our tech and believe it will be delivered.
If we continue to allow harassment to occur on chat boards and internet sites we run the risk of one day waking up without a Captain of our ship.
Notwithstanding all our sad memories of the past regarding NVXE and now NVEI, we must throw away our rear view mirrors of the past and now immediately show total support for Brad.
Our combined futures and return of capital and future success depend entirely upon Brad being given the opportunity to develop his plan logically and within his time frame and not ours.
We need to IMMEDIATELY stand totally behind Brad Ketch.
Please remember that we are a tiny tiny startup Company that does not have the resources available in man power to ward off the hostile attacks our management is receiving from we shareholders and remain focused on our collective NVEI future success.
In summary, we are killing ourselves.
Please don't think that I am pointing fingers at one individual or another because I freely admit to being guilty myself at times BUT if we want to sight land before we hit a sand bar or crash into another ship or drown, we best change our tune in a hurry.
I know that I have.

Simiondinger..Of course we will see money from the film. With 70 hours of video, any major production house should want to buy the shots for background and file footage for future events. It will save big fees from large Union shops not having to do video shots.
In addition during the Park City events there are generally some very rich individuals who might have a production company buy the entire package just to create tax losses to shelter their income. This is a beautiful way to travel the world trying to sell the asset while incurring losses for tax purposes. jhmo and the way it works.
There are 9 different possible locations to air the films in Park City. While the most famous is Sundance thanks to Robert Redford, the other 8 hold just as much importance.
While I initially thought that X-Dance would be a good theatre location with MSFT and digital formats as the logical place to be housed it turns out that we are in the better environment with more participants and guests planning on attending our location each night than others. Ray is very pleased with the environment we have been ask to showcase.
If you don't believe me make your own calls to Park City and ask for yourself.
News out!
New Visual's Step Into Liquid to Premiere at No Dance Film Festival 1/16/2003 12:43:00 PM
SAN DIEGO, Jan 16, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- NV Entertainment, a subsidiary of New Visual Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: NVEI), announced today that it has accepted an invitation for a special screening of Step Into Liquid at the No Dance Film Festival. The Festival, which has recently been closely aligned with highly acclaimed actor/director Forrest Whitaker, runs January 18th-24th, 2003 in Park City, Utah. The special screening of Step Into Liquid is scheduled for January 20, 2003 at 8 p.m.
Held in Park City, Utah roughly the same time as the Sundance, Slam Dance, and X-Dance festivals, No Dance is a digital film festival that promotes independent feature films, shorts, and documentaries. This year's No Dance will be the first year Forrest Whitaker has taken a prominent association with the festival. Whitaker's actor credits include Panic Room (2002), Good Morning Vietnam (1987), Platoon (1986), The Color of Money (1986), and The Crying Game (1992). In addition to chairing No Dance, Whitaker is a grand jury member, or judge, for The 2003 Sundance Festival. Among those at the No Dance Festival this year are two Mike Figgis films, whose directorial credits include Leaving Las Vegas (1995), and Internal Affairs (1990).
The No Dance screening is part of New Visual's efforts to market Step Into Liquid. It follows multiple demonstrations of Microsoft's Windows Media 9 using the films trailer and precedes a benefit screening for the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum in February.
"Although I had never surfed before, I found this film compelling not only because it transcends both surf and world cultures, but because it exposes what lies at the most primitive inner core of surfing, spirituality," said Forrest Whitaker.
About Step Into Liquid
Step Into Liquid is a Dana Brown film that tells tales from twenty different locations. It features surfing legends like Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama surfing at Jaws, an aerial spectacle from Taj Burrow in Australia, the Malloy brothers in Ireland, Peter Mell, "Skindog" Collins and crew surfing Monster Mavericks, super tanker wake surfing in Texas, Rapa Nui's first-ever tow-in, long-boarding on Lake Michigan, and a highly anticipated footage of Cortez Banks and its sixty-foot plus waves.
Joe.....It surely was wasn't it. Wonder where in cyber space it is?
Forget whining about about the current share price. The MM's need to accumulate your shares for a flip to a larger buyer or for their own account. Our current share price is such a joke that imho the senior MM's would rather bet on us by holding NVEI for a double / triple and accumulation pending ASIC shipment data than to bet on the Super Bowl in San Diego where NVEI is currently located.
IMHO, It is beginning to look like someone is accumulating our stock.
Notwithstanding the market makers depressing the current share price for the purposes of generating sellers, there are buyers of our security in the open market or arranged in advance.
The first opportunity for us to have notice will be when around 5% of our outstanding shares are under control of a single group of Investors. This is very difficult to accomplish as a single investor without the help from NITE. We are not quite at the point of an open order to fill at market for 5% of our security but that day is certainly in the near future, imho.
Dilt and Jeff, I asked BK about any of our Dr's publishing and he claims at this stage they are in frequent communication with those other kind brains in the world behind the curtain. When the time is right events will occure but they only have limited curb appeal to the Investment community.
Remember Dr's Greaves and Propp are smart, the Investment community is not on there wave length.
Simiondinger......What part is BS?
"Dr. David Greaves knows this better than we do and is playing a significant roll with knowledge, scope and expertise, which is Global in prospective."
Funding from Europe.....The [organization/group/club]which has started buying restricted 144's is similar to an American version of a stock Investment Club but with European citizens who can buy daily through a defined source. As an example the giant German Banks like Deutsche Genossenschaftsbank do it all the time and like our old S&L's of the 70's get fees for the service.
These smart investors have studied all the same information that we have and understand the vast potential NVEI affords them globally.
They are buying American registered and restricted 144's from NVEI [ which can not be shorted whatsoever] just like some current NVEI investors in the USA. These new Investors have the exact same restrictions placed on them as Americans.
They must hold the restricted shares for a minimum of one full year before they can apply to NVEI for free traded shares. 144 Investors can not borrow money and use these restricted shares as equity or collateral. [ Rules are the same throughout the World]
Remember that they are buying a restricted American security under SEC rules regardless of their location.
European, India, Asia, China and British phone Companies are basically all copper and are actually in worse shape than the American telco's regarding debt levels but still have the same needs and these new Investors want what we have discovered in their portfolio's.
Dr. David Greaves knows this better than we do and is playing a significant roll with his and scope and expertise, which is Global in prospective.
Sure selling 144's is painful but so is not funding more prototypes and marketing what we already have. Embarq is the FIRST in a family of solutions and we can't afford NOT to be funded. imho eom 34Simmons
True....And the Blue Men at INTC just happen to be the same Corporate color blue as New Visual.
Brad and Tom really did not seem like they were sleeping when they spoke to us about the combined future possibilities. eom
"Transport processors", a term reciently used in our 12/30/02 Prototype is a new combination of thoughts first coined by Brad and approved by Tom Cooper and our Board to reflect our future directions.
If I understood correctly comments they made at the Bellagio breakfast correctly, "Embarq" will be an important part of a much larger family of products in our future and Brad thinks that the NVEI family of chips will become as familiar to the Industry as the Intel chip[s] have become and believes we will reside side by side and the chip[s] will work together in many future World products.
Without exception, all who were able to meet Brad and Tom, between their prescheduled CES appointments were impressed with the opportunity to "break bread" and listen to there excitement for our Investment future.

Microsoft's WM9 Pricing to Draw Battle Lines? By Ryan Naraine
Despite Horn's wait-and-see stance, analysts believe a price-war is inevitable, especially with Real's pricing announcement less than a month away.
Steve Vonder Haar, an analyst with Interactive Media Strategies said the battle lines have been drawn and quartered. "What we have here is a fee change in the streaming media platform business that sets off a good old-fashioned platform war," Vonder Haar told internetnews.com. "Historically, the lines of battle had been drawn around the sophistication of the technology but now it has shifted to economics."
Because of this new platform war, Vonder Haar expects MPEG LA to reduce its licensing fees but he argues that the MPEG-4 standard still enjoys a huge fan base among software developers.
"An option [for MPEG LA] would be to come back and try to slash licensing fees in response. But, there are alternatives to pricing. MPEG LA could try to think of other ways to make the standard more appealing, he said. "There's no need for a knee-jerk reaction to Microsoft. They have to realize this is a marathon and not a sprint. The intelligent thing is for MPEG LA to make sure they support developers in an appropriate way," Vonder Haar added.
Yankee Group analyst Adi Kishore agreed. "If you are looking for a shift in pricing on the MPEG LA side, it will not be immediate. In the short run, the price difference will be significant but over the long haul, MPEG-4 can still be a better, cheaper product."
Kishore said MPEG LA's structure as a consortium representing the interests of several companies puts it at a disadvantage because it cannot match Microsoft's every move in a timely manner, but, he still believes MPEG-4 has its own advantages, primarily because it's based on open standards.
Because Microsoft is positioning itself as a full-fledged entertainment provider, on and offline, Kishore suggested money can be lost on one area without hurting the overall digital media strategy. "Microsoft has more flexibility in terms of pricing. They can lose money in one particular area and make it back up in another area. They can undercut pricing -- they have that luxury," Kishore said.
On the flipside, MPEG LA has got a standards-based product with hundreds of companies working to develop it. MPEG-4 is not going to disappear because of Microsoft's pricing," he insisted.
Vonder Haar, too, pointed to MPEG LA's popularity among developers as its trump card. "Microsoft starts this battle in the driver's seat, no doubt about that. They appear committed to devoting the time and resources to making multimedia happen but MPEG LA's biggest advantage is that it is not Microsoft. Don't count out MPEG-4. These are early days."
"Microsoft is doing exactly what they should be doing. RealNetworks is doing exactly what they should be doing. At the end of the day, there will be two camps. The actual fight right now is to see who is going to be the loyal opposition to Microsoft. Is it going to be MPEG-4? Is it going to be Real's Helix? That's the question that will be eventually answered," Vonder Haar predicted.
While the industry awaits RealNetworks' own pricing for the Helix Server, MPEG LA's Horn pleaded for patience. "Before this announcement, the marketplace was uncertain about the cost of Microsoft's codec. There was a time when people said it would be free but it's not. Also, there could be hidden costs in there, we don't know."
"Do you know you will be married to a proprietary technology? Will you have to adopt to any change that Microsoft implements? Those are risks that the industry will have to figure out," Horn added.
He refused to rule out MPEG LA price cuts down the road. "If we determine, based on responses from the market, that the licensing terms need to change, we will bring that to the attention of the patent holders and make a recommendation to that effect. But that's not a short term thing." "I never say never but it's not like I got on the phone immediately after Microsoft's announcement and started fixing a new price.

Microsoft's WM9 Pricing to Draw Battle Lines?
By Ryan Naraine
Microsoft's aggressive digital media licensing plan for its new Windows Media 9 Series platform is creating ripples throughout the sector with one firm accusing the software giant of "undermining" the industry with an "unfair" pricing strategy.
Microsoft (Quote, Company Info) announced that pricing for its platform would, in some cases, be 50 percent lower than the competing MPEG-4 standard, drawing the ire of backers of the standards-based technology. While analysts are predicting an all-out price war between the rival standards (including RealNetworks (Quote, Company Info), the MPEG LA group overseeing the MPEG-4 patent licensing process believes pricing won't determine the eventual winner.
MPEG LA spokesman Larry Horn dismissed talk of a price war. In an interview with internetnews.com, Horn insisted pricing won't be the determining factor in the race to make MPEG-4 the de facto standard for digital media.
"The marketplace is going to decide this. The licensing terms aren't going to be the factor that makes developers choose one over the other. At the end of the day, it boils down to open-standards versus a proprietary technology. Open standard has its own merits, proprietary has its own risks. We are comfortable letting the marketplace decide this," Horn declared.
Not many are buying this MPEG LA stance. iVAST CEO Elliot Broadwin slammed the Microsoft move in strong language. "In yet another barely cloaked attempt to extend its operating system monopoly to all consumer devices, Microsoft plans to undermine the most promising new audio/video industry standard, MPEG-4," Broadwin said in a statement.
"Is this in the best interests of the consumer? Have we forgotten Microsoft's history of predatory practices?...This is not a time to sit back and watch Microsoft extend its monopoly at the cost of consumer choice just as it has done with operating systems, Web browsers, office productivity, and streaming media software," Broadwin declared.
But Horn is pleading for patience even as another key rival, RealNetworks, is preparing to unveil its own Helix Server initiative, which sources say will mirror Microsoft's aggressive price-based licensing terms. (The server codec and licensing terms for Real's Helix Server will be unveiled at the LinuxWorld show later this month).
"I don't think we're seeing the birth of a price war. First of all, I don't think [Microsoft's] prices are half of what ours are. We have caps on our prices and, for the small user, we have a threshold level, where no royalty is paid. I'm not overly worried about Microsoft and its prices. We have to mind our own knitting," Horn insisted.
Horn did not rule out price cuts from the MPEG LA consortium to stay competitive but he said that's not something the industry should expect in the short term.
"I'm not going to bash Microsoft and I'm not going to predict what our next move will be," Horn said, leaving the door open for the patent holders to tinker with its own licensing plan. "Anything is possible. We try to be responsive to the marketplace but, like I said, licensing terms are not the only deciding factor here."
Unit pricing for Windows Media Video 9 (WMV 9) on devices and non-Windows platforms has been set at 10 cents per decoder, 20 cents per encoder and 25 cents for both encoder/decoder. By comparison, MPEG-4 video is more expensive, with a unit price for decoder, encoder and encoder/decoder licensing of 25 cents, 25 cents and 50 cents, respectively.
Subject to a $1 million annual cap, MPEG LA also has a minimum threshold so that content owners with fewer than 50,000 subscribers aren't subject to royalties. Those fees are applicable to Web site operators that benefit commercially from use of the technology, through either paid advertisements, pay-per-view services or subscriptions.

Microsoft Steps Into Liquid
New Visual Entertainment’s latest motion picture, Stepping Into Liquid has made a tremendous splash at this week’s 2003 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada and World Leader, Microsoft, is seeing to it that the film is “surf” ed up to as many hungry fans as possible.
Over 100,000 electronic media enthusiasts and industry professionals are expected to attend this Largest International Event Of Its Kind and its most famous and influential exhibitor has chosen New Visual to help promote a breakthrough in digital video and audio technology.
Microsoft is aggressively plugging its hot, new Windows Media 9 Series software with the catch phrase, “jumpstart THE NEXT WAVE of digital media” and since a picture is worth a thousand words, attendees may enjoy footage of the trailer from the film displayed across every single screen at the Microsoft Media 9 arena including a massive high definition plasma unit with resolution to make a fish think twice.
A Microsoft M9 host stated that the enthusiasm for the product was overwhelming with requests for the demo to be repeated again and again.
And what a demo it is! Incredible visuals of bikini clad vixens and tanned Adonis’s flying, twisting, screaming through giant tubes of Neptune’s Blue; awesome helicopter footage, sweeping and swooping panoramas of the some of the most dangerous surfing hotspots in the world; top pros in the sport wrestling impossible challenges in unbelievable locations including some surprising geography or rather, “aqua-ography,” {which cannot adequately be described in this publication,} all set to a modern, upbeat and driving soundtrack which is utterly inspiring.
Pounding surf, pounding soundtrack, pound for pound, this movie is bound to astound.“The film’s format is perfect for the big screen with no loss of resolution – this is gonna be one hot film – I can’t wait – I mean you feel like you’re there. You don’t even gotta go surfing after this but you’re gonna want to,” claimed the young exhibitor who confided that, in addition to “airing” Liquid, Microsoft had actually gone to the extent of producing thousands of CD’s with New Visual’s trailer on it with the hope of distributing it to every visitor at the event.
“ ‘Stepping Into Liquid’ is the most fantastic way we can show the new tech. We’re real lucky that New Visual had this.”
With these two “Big Kahunas” of media sharing a blanket, Microsoft’s New Visual Perspective promises to be absolutely… “Radical!”

Corporate lesson #1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings.
After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says,"I'll give you 800 dollars to drop that towel that you have on." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves.
Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, Her husband asks from the shower "Who was that?"
It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies. "Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the 800 dollars he owes me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk in time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Hopefully Management will republish last weeks news now that all the market makers, stock brokers, telcom executives and risk taking investors are back from the Hamptons or the slopes.
The lack of any stock appreciation this week was no surprise knowing Wall Street.
Brokers want commissions, they want a story to tell their clients, they want to be able to research our claims and most of all , imho, they want us off the BB and above $5.00 so that funds they control or direct may have the chance to churn trades.
jjz34.....As I have maintained all along, no one in a Senior Management capacity is home on Wall Street or Main street telcom land this week.
IMHO..Next week is an entirely different matter.

Super Bowl Monday
any Monday will do..lol
A possible outcome of our outstanding NVEI news release, which is pending until the very last moment, is perhaps the name change of the sports stadium in San Diego from Qualcomm Stadium to New Visual Stadium according to unofficial documents uncovered by the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau and the NFL.
If the rolling Thunder we expect lifts our share price passed what we made in QCOM stock in the 90's, we will definitely consider the name change whispers an elected official and stockholder.
After all the New Visual Corporate offices are just down the block he whispers and they will need stadium parking for all the new business they generate for San Diego and the World communications communities.

Today's focus: Spark of a 10 Gigabit copper standard
By Jeff Caruso
Last month the IEEE took the first steps toward standardizing
10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper.
That's right - 10 Gigabit. The IEEE formed two study groups in
November, one looking at running those speeds over 4X Twinax
cabling and the other looking at running it over Category-5
unshielded twisted pair wiring. In this issue we'll look at the
Twinax effort; next time, we'll look at the Cat-5 initiative.
The Twinax study group is proposing the name 10GBase-CX4 for
the technology, which would be targeted at switch-to-switch
links in data centers and server links in server farms.
Perhaps most importantly, the eventual standard would be aimed
at connections between stackable LAN switches. Such stackable
switches presumably would feed Gigabit Ethernet to desktop
computers, so they would need something even faster to carry
communications between them.
When 10 Gigabit Ethernet was first being developed, there was a
distinct focus on service provider applications. Now that the
service provider market has imploded, vendors are keenly
interested in enterprise applications - and that means finding
a way to bring down the cost of such high-speed networking.
Copper is seen as the way to do that.
The Twinax standard is expected to be the easier of the two
copper alternatives to standardize, as Cat-5 presents greater
technical challenges. In the initial meeting, the group
considered using part of the InfiniBand technical specification
and running signals over eight pairs of wire in Twinax cable.
Distances will probably be kept short, as the initial
feasibility studies have focused on cable lengths of 10 meters
to 15 meters.
The group is pursuing an aggressive timeline for 10GBase-CX4 -
with the first draft of the spec coming by March and a full
standard by the end of 2003.
Next time: 10GBase-T
Pandaman.........Excellent.............
IMHO- Tomorrow December 2nd officially starts the final countdown to:
promises kept
share price appreciation
exciting news about vendors / manufacturers / financing
and the Christmas gifts of standing with all in the Bank line.
This month I expect the very minimum of tax selling and naturally it is to late to sell and rebuy before Year end and the early 2003 lift off risk.
Effectively we only have 15 trading days before Wall Street calls it for the Year and so hopefully we get the long awaited "Delivery of the Promise" shortly.
Expanding Moore's Law..
The Exponential Opportunity
Fall 2002 Update.
From the Intel web site and,imho, worth a serious read.........
In part, one of the many exciting conclusions drawn from the article is the following, which I hope will apply to our NVEI process also.
"Intel's pursuit of making Moore's Law a reality has transformed our world.
But future opportunity far exceeds past benefits.
In a world where most of the world's population still has little or no access to digital technoology, meeting the predictions of Moore's Law will help bring developing nations into the digitial world.
A wealth of new market spaces will emerrge as factors of cost, size, and connectivity continue to bring something magical to virtgually every human realm and activity.

Porscha--EXCELLENT advise and well thought out.
Pandaman is one of our finest Gentleman in this family of long term shareholders and if it were not for his and a small collection of other early "mossbacks" vision and gut feelings in RW, no one today would be here to bith about the ups and downs of our stock. eom, and this is my opinion!
Scott
34Simmons
dilt1--IMHO...
It stands to reason, at least my reasoning and from years as a developer / Investment Banker in NYC, that when NVEI releases factual developements, as implied by various RAQ's, we will want someone to manufacture our developed goods and that requires "money"!
Having said that, NVEI would have already met with many potential sources of "money" to sniff out potential working relationships to accomplish that goal and long term support.
Those collective parties will evaluate, negotiate, plan and execute working contracts and together with NVEI, bring the "A" team to the table for maximum global effect.
Sooner rather than later, we will hopefully learn of how truly big this global push of our technology will become, imho.
So you see, Investment Banking types are at our Gates ,[pun intended].
Austin..I can't answer for Tom's reasons for buying, perhaps it is a gift for family, I have no idea. My reason for buying more is pure and simple, it is greed. I was not in Gates garage in the early 80's when he started MSFT but I was here and now.
I did not read into TC's purchase lately as any attempt at any PR but simply a reporting requirement mandated by law when an insider buys.
Any public printed statement from Officers of our Company and on their own website for the World to digest can be deemed by law as directional and so YES, based on written comments NVEI is about to deliver "news" that we all collectively hope will get the attention of any and all interested parties, be it acquirer, user, investor,lender or related vendor, imho.
It seems to me that the primary numbers actually released by our Team need to impress our Investment Bankers / Lenders 1st.
They would most assuredly have done as much DD as possible including but not limited to physically touching the products, met with our potential customers, spoken with pending manufacturers to find out costs / time to delivery / and most important of all:
Developed THEIR EXIT STRATEGY to get their initial investment back quickly.
By having an exit planned in advance, they would have concluded correctly that our Company should NOT be on a BB exchange and most likely concluded correctly that a National exchange with truly liquid traded shares will need ,imho, to be both supported during its slow and steady growth while revenue picks up and our product[s] are accepted as the defacto standard and other Institutions can start recommending NVEI to there customers, which means $5.00 per share.
As in Moore's Law, any Investment Banker would also want the probable chance to double his ROI within 18 months. Once again, jmho
Spoke, I completely agree........eom
Smoking again..Both GSPN and LU are up another 10% today and both indirectly played a part in our history and yes, maybe our future. eom
