Does this have anything to do with the share price going down.
Mikey, has the worst luck. This was posted on RB yesterday.

well the arbitrator in mikeygold vs dean witter ruled in dean witters favor....91000 dollars....thankyou dean witter....for nothing.....there goes my 35000 nvei shares
I would like to wish all the FATHERS a very Happy Father,s Day. Greg your post was very special to me because my father was a very special man, also. Thank You.
That's just tooooooo cute, for words, porscha. A good Saturday morning laugh. Thanks.
S&L, Thank you for posting the letter from Cooper. I also Thank you for letting us know the typo errors were yours and not Mr. Cooper's. As I read your posts, I was hoping you were typing them and not Cooper....LOL You did good just getting that out to us. Thanks again.
Don, you have mail in you mail box.
My apology to all, I did think it was from the 2002 Supercomm show. Sorry....that's what happens as you age. you loose your eye site, and your mind....lol
On the brighter side of life.....to all going to the Shareholders Meeting in San Diego. My daughter & I went to Fondue Forever for dinner last evening and had a wonderful experience. Big Dawg's place. If you don't get to go there while in San Diego, you will miss a very enjoyable time and excellent food.
dsc31, I find that very interesting, that Tom Cooper will be speaking at this event two or three weeks before taking over as head of nvei. This is a great piece of news for us. Thanks.
Brady, I think there are much bigger problems that need to be corrected by management than to spend their time in a cat fight. He said, you said.
(Like the connect button in order to get into private chat.)
I did not see the post that started all the fuss. And my feeling is after you make your decision to delete it. There is no reason to debate it in a public discussion. That debate should be in private, as it makes all parties look bad.
I would like to appeal this to the the management: Take debate off this board. You deleted the message so why are you trying to shoot the messenger that sent the TOS to you?
On a brighter note, I personally have been very happy with this message board and the chat room, and I am saddened to read all these post on this board, from management.
Well, Mr. Scott........I didn't know it was your Birthday until I read Otto's message. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND. ENJOY!!!!!
usaf24, it is my understanding when the s/p gets a certain level we will do a split then when it reaches that level again we will split again. I think that level should be about $30.00, (that has not been said by the company, this is only JMHO)
Troy, If I were about to take a large position in a company I would do exactly what you are doing, especially if I did not know other long term investors. However, I would first call the management and ask them to explain the questions you are asking the posters. As you get to know the regular posters on Ihub, we will fine they are all good honest people who are trying to help you with the questions you have ask. However, you do appear (to me) to be rather abrasive with your answers, and perhaps that is not your intention.
If my choice of investment was to daytrade it for quick return I would not worry, but if you are doing your DD to your standards, which seem to be more detailed then what you are getting form the posters here, I suggest you call the office and talk to Ray or John.
Gosh, Greg does that mean all of us are limited to the janitors job. LOL
Let's predict the weather then:
Weather Prediction
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked
their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe
that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,"
the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Is
it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes", the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's
going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to
collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again.
"Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely", the man replied. "It's going to be one of the
coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting wood like
crazy."
Pretty cute Excel sounds like you are talking from experience. And I can sure relate to what you are saying.
I sure do......
Thanks, Ernie. I always appreciate your information.
You go right to the source. "We are opening Pandora's Box."
That means we are ready to roll.
OT. OT.....I just received this from a friend: I hope you all enjoy this as much as I have this evening.

Great article "Dilt1"
I wonder if NVEI"s Team really understood the complication of this technology and the Goliath's they would be called upon to deal with. In 1999 it all looked so easy, just find the product and bring it to market.
The past four years has been a real learning experience for me.
I really appreciate all of you guys being so willing to search for technical information and so willing to share it with others.
Now we are learning about the political side as well as the monetary part of bringing a technology to market.
"WE SHOR'ARE GETIN THEM THAR SMARTS."
OT,OT, Just thought this was interesting. A Chip ID That's Only Skin-Deep
Biotech: Firm plans to sell implantable devices that can store a variety of data about you.
By DAVID STREITFELD, Times Staff Writer
By DAVID STREITFELD -- A Florida company is poised to become the first to sell microchips designed to be implanted into human beings, an achievement that opens the door to new systems of medical monitoring and ID screening.
Implantable chips have long been discussed by technologists and denounced by those who object on religious grounds or fear their use by a totalitarian state. But the company that did the test, Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, said the specter of terrorism is shifting attitudes. The direct union of man and computer is no longer dismissed out of hand.
"The bottom line is, when people are trying to regain their peace of mind, they're more open to new approaches," said Keith Bolton, Applied Digital's chief technology officer.
Applied Digital, which had revenue of $165 million last year, has made its mark by selling electronic chips that help farmers keep tabs on the health and safety of their cows and other livestock. The company also makes a monitoring bracelet for Alzheimer patients, so that families can use global positioning satellite systems to help find loved ones who might have wandered off.
Now the company sees a market among those who have artificial organs and limbs. These folks will have up to 60 words of relevant medical information implanted on chips. If the patients are brought unconscious into an emergency room, technicians equipped with special scanners will easily decipher the body's internal topography.
The chips would need approval from the Food and Drug Administration, which Applied Digital said it expects to receive by midyear. The company said it already has secured permission from the Federal Communications Commission--necessary because the chips use radio frequencies.
Regulatory approval is not necessary overseas, however. Applied Digital expects to be selling chips in South America in about 90 days. One potential market is kidnap targets, who could use these chips in combination with global positioning devices.
Other potential applications would put the chips in the role of an ultimate ID, capable of performing many of the roles that are performed by keys and ATM cards.
"I'd be shocked if within 10 years you couldn't get a chip implanted that would unlock your house, start your car and give you money," said Chris Hables Gray, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Great Falls in Montana and author of "The Cyborg Citizen."
English cyberneticist Kevin Warwick won considerable notoriety three years ago by implanting an electronic transmitter above his left elbow. The implant opened doors and switched on lights at his British University of Reading offices. He now is working on experiments in which his nervous system is linked with a computer.
If Warwick is the equivalent of the mad genius who injects himself with a new vaccine to see whether it works, the Applied Digital volunteer, 55-year-old New Jersey surgeon Richard Seelig, sees himself as simply a consultant thrust by events into an unexpected role.
Seelig had been working with Applied Digital since early this year. He expected to do a traditional scientific study, calling for volunteers who wanted to test out the role of chip implants. Then came the terrorist attacks Sept. 11. Five days later, Seelig injected himself with the chips.
"I was so compelled by what had happened," he said in a phone interview. "One of the potential applications suddenly jumped out--the ability to have a secure form of identification--and I felt I had to take the next step."
So he injected one chip into his left forearm; the other went in his right leg, next to his artificial hip. Each could hold several sentences of information, although at the moment they just contain serial numbers.
"There's no deformity of the skin," Seelig said. "I feel just the same as I did before."
The chips that will be marketed next year are not true tracking devices. For one thing, they have no internal power source. Their data can't be read without a scanner.
The next generation of body chips, which transmits signals from a distance, is still several years away. At the moment, this kind of tracking device would have to be about 1 inch by 1 inch, raising the likelihood of a rather unsightly bulge.
Applied Digital has a market value of 95 million. Its shares closed unchanged Tuesday at 38 cents on Nasdaq.
No one interviewed Tuesday questioned that Applied Digital had done what it said it did, but not everyone thought there would be a huge market.
"It's a glorified bar code, and there are not a lot of people who are going to want it," said Michael Nova, the founder of Graviton, a La Jolla company developing wireless machine-to-machine communication systems. Using such a chip as a built-in credit card, Nova said, would require a great deal of work.
"Stores would have to get the right software; credit card companies would have to want to do it," Nova said. "At the moment, this is an intriguing idea that doesn't have a market."
Which isn't necessarily going to keep it from being popular, said futurist Paul Saffo.
"As some people wring their hands about the invasion of privacy and civil liberty, a whole other generation is going to go, 'Cool! I've always wanted to embed technology in my body.' It's going to be fashion," Saffo said. "One sure sign that teenagers will love it is if it terrifies their parents."

It sure is nice to get to this site, as the past week or so all I have gotten is "Access to this site is denied." I certainly hope I was not the only one that received this notice. It did not help my self esteem.
I would like to wish each of you a Blessed Merry Christmas, Enjoy each and every one of your family and friends, Pray for all our family and friends' safety who will be traveling during the holidays. Pray for the numerous people who lossed loved ones.
May 2002 be the Best Year of all of our lives. I have enjoyed meeting many of you this year and still say we have the best group of investors of any stock regardless of the fact, we are still on the OTC board.
Thank you so much,Pengy. I also APPRECIATE you and your job as the official reporter to the shareholders. LOL You have a dinner coming from me the next time we see each other. Maybe, even a drink.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, don't eat too much, just enjoy the food and your LOVED ONES. We have many things to be Thankful for.
Only Pengy would do this to us..LOL Now I will be thinking of Alice all day. That is really cute I like the 27 8X10 glossy prints.
Forgive me, but a friend keeps sending me these jokes. I just want to share them with the group.
Two men, both billionaires.
One develops relatively cheap software and gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity.
The other sponsors terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the US government has spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past ten years than Osama bin Laden?
Thanks to the pp boys, (pengy & porscha) You did mighty Fine Boys.
Now for a little American Joke.
Osama bin Laden, not feeling well and concerned about his mortality, goes to consult a psychic about the date of his death. Closing her eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future she finds the answer.
"You will die on an American holiday."
"Which one?" Osama bin Laden asks nervously.
"It doesn't matter," replied the psychic. "Whenever you die, it will be an American holiday!"
I think this could help us....
Now is your chance to register for the Gilder/Forbes Telecosm
Conference, to be held November 4-6, 2001 at the Fairmont Hotel in
San Francisco. (For an updated agenda and additional conference
details, go to http://tm0.com/forbes/sbct.cgi?s=217208226&i=398248&d=1848540 )
This summer I declared in The Wall Street Journal that we stood on
the brink of the "Telechasm"--a high-tech depression driven by a
long siege of deflationary monetary policy and obtuse regulation
that has shriveled hundreds of debt-laden telecom companies and
brought Internet expansion to a halt.
Then came the events of September 11th. Desperate Luddites armed
with hijacked technologies and apocalyptic grudges aimed a stake at
the heart of our markets and the infrastructures of freedom they
symbolize. But the network stood. And now we are sifting through
the fallout, looking for answers to the essential question: What next?
Even before September 11 we stood at a pivotal moment in the
history of the Telecosm (the intelligent, networked communications
infrastructure enabled by advanced technologies.) Passion and
innovation are at an all-time high and stock prices are at an
all-time low. Wall Street and Washington are waging war on the key
sources of renewal and invention that drive forward the broadband
future.
In short we have on our hands a crisis that we must turn into an
opportunity if the dreams we have all pursued for so many years are
not to be aborted by adversity.
--------------------------------------------
Since I launched it five years ago, the Gilder-Forbes Telecosm
conference has been designed as a place where business leaders come
to "listen to the technology" and divine the strategic
imperatives for the industry. A place where the greatest minds and
movers, entrepreneurs and engineers from our world gather to debate
sometimes with surprising ferocity the future of our common
enterprise, to test grand visions against the imperious realities
of the physical world and the horizons of the technology.
Telecosm is a lot more than talk. It's a breeding ground for new
companies, new money, new opportunity, new stars, and even new laws
of physics and technology (every year from the likes of Carver
Mead, Bill Joy, Bob Metcalfe, and Ray Kurzweil.)
This year the debate will be more important than ever. For the sake
of both our nation and our industry we have a crucial task to do.
The Telecosm is supremely the realm of what have been called "the
technologies of freedom", the technologies which inherently
undermine any form of tyranny whether a dictatorial government, or
the new tyranny of terror that the Luddites would unleash.
Information is power said a wise man once, and by liberating
information our technologies liberate mankind.
Those same technologies can also find alternatives to the grim
prospect of "locking down" our free society in order to thwart,
or uncover, a handful of terrorists who threaten it. By finding
solutions in freedom, they can also save hundreds of billions now
being budgeted for private and public security, and police and
military solutions.
That is just one of the challenges we face. It is also time for the
leaders of the Telecosm to get political in other ways. On at least
two counts, Washington is the leading suspect in the bloodletting
we have all been through over the past 18 months, and it is time to
come together to do something about that too.
For all these reasons, we are, even as I write this, dramatically
enhancing the agenda for Telecosm, which we have now rescheduled
for November 4, 5, and 6 at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.
Every day we are adding crucial leaders from our industry, from the
political world, and the capital markets. In this special time--and
for this very special Telecosm only--we have moved Telecosm to San
Francisco to make it easier for most industry leaders to get there
despite travel challenges.
If you have been to one of my Telecosm conferences before, you know
why you need to come back this year. If you have never been to
one, then this is the one to come to. You'll find all the
conference details you need at
http://tm0.com/forbes/sbct.cgi?s=217208226&i=398248&d=1848540 -- including the
up-to-the-minute conference agenda and other critical information.
There are three things I get out of a great conference and Telecosm
delivers all three in abundance:
1. Rapid progress on the learning curve. The leaders of the pack
are always at Telecosm, and the news they bear this year is
absolutely crucial to the next 18 months of our industry, perhaps
the most decisive since Ciena launched commercial WDM in 1996.
2. Intimate conversations with the leaders of our industry and the
hottest new companies proposing to join that leadership. Sure the
program is great. But as always I am tempted to just can the
program and spend three days talking in the hallways and conference
rooms. Whether you're looking for allies or acquisitions, clients
or vendors, investments or investors, you need to be there.
3. But the biggest reason is the hardest one to explain. Just call
it serendipity. The upside surprise. Every time I go to a great
conference some speaker or company from whom I wasn't expecting
much amazes me. I always end up realizing that the whole cost of
the conference-especially my time, always the biggest cost-was more
than covered by that one crucial encounter.
But this year there is an even bigger reason. We need to come
together, not only physically, but personally, strategically,
politically, even spiritually for the sake of the dream we have
dreamed together these many years, and for country and the world
for which we dream it.
Come and be a part of the future.
With admiration and thanks,
George Gilder

Come on Dinky.......StillPoorBoy is a mighty spry 70 year old if your dates are correct. Let's take about half of that off.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO.......
Corine, Thanks for posting your thoughts.
That has been my thoughts for quite some time now. Why would a prudent investor sell nvei at these prices unless, the broker force them to sell to cover other stocks they had a margin call on and nvei was the only way to cover.
This says it all, I am proud to be a Christian who is proud to be an American.

I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners, my head is a little higher,
my colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne
Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa,
Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam, know me, I was there.
I led my troops,
I was dirty, battle worn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me.
And I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have
helped set free. It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades
on the battlefield, When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier, Or
when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their
fallen son or daughter, I am proud.
PLEASE FORWARD MY MESSAGE TO ALL WHO STILL LOVE AND RESPECT ME,
THAT I MAY FLY PROUDLY FOR ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
jeff_p, Thand you for such a wonderful post. You have a very wonderful heart that allows you to show your creative soul. Bless You. Mayu
Greg, is always good to read such an informative and cute reply form John, Thanks for posting it.
Rob, I agree with you, about John's health status and the considerable stress he has been dealing with.
The best thing we can do is pray for him and his family. I have personally been keeping All of the employees in my prayers. Especially their safety and their health.
I am told John answers between 70 to 100 telephone calls a day, plus the same number of emails a day. We can all do our part in not calling so much and asking questions when we usually know the answer.
John is a very valuable asset to nvei, and we should show him the repect and consideration for his time. John and his wife are both very dedicated to nvei.
Rob, perhaps you know more about his health than I do. Prayers and God can help him out with the problems we know nothing about.
God Bless all of you and your families. You are all a great group of investors.
Mayu
There must be, I can't seem to get in, either.
How do you take that, that news is coming soon?
Dilt1, thanks for that little tibit of information. Except it isn't tibit it is 500 Billion. I have said all along, that FH is working in the back room with news, they want to create suspence.
Greg that was the part that I like, also. And ofcourse that was just a poster and he could see through the problems of the internet in England, and see a solution.
I found this post on an England message board, It is referring to the article we had post back in April or May. I found the BT is in quite abit of trouble with the British. Hope you enjoy this little tibit.
News - March 31,2001
Future Broadband Tech Labelled 'Unrealistic'
By:mark.j @ 10:12:AM - Comments (0) - SendNews [HERE] / PrintNews [HERE] Believe it or not the work of high-speed Internet connections doesn't stop with xDSL, Cable Modems or Satellite. Companies are already working to develop the next generation of xDSL, as well as technologies that work outside the standard DSL specifications:
New Wheel Technology (NWT) has submitted prototype kit for tests where it recorded unidirectional transmission speeds of 54Mbps over a distance of up to 2.8Km, using existing twisted-pair copper telephone cables.
However experts have said that the tests, conducted by Lucent on technology called Cu@Ocx from NWT, are incomplete and do not prove the distance limit for high-speed broadband over copper has been extended.
The Register is clever to point out that there are a lot of people who remain wary when trying to push the limits of existing technology. Former BT technical leader, Gavin Young, had his own comments to make:
The test may be valid, he said, but it was "out of context" and did not show if the technology was deployable for two-way data in real-life setups. "Performance results only have credibility in a realistic test set up with realistic cross talk and egress limits," said Young.
NWT has claimed that they were simply trying to prove the technology worked and not to conduct any official tests. However the fact they succeeded over such a distance, whatever the situation, does mean our dear old copper wire might not be replaced by Fibre Optics just yet.
After all, if BT sees a technology that helps it to avoid making yet another massive change then it'll no doubt take it.
