Right on the money JP: GO NEOM!!!


The lawsuit NeoMedia filed Jan. 26, 2004 is what initiated L-Scan's financial problems. This lawsuit scared off L-Scan investors. Would you feel confortable investing in a private start-up w/the lawsuit pending? (See #1 for a reminder). All just my opinion of course......


I understand why others may question Retireds credibility. They have every reason to, after all we are on an anonymous message board. Its good practice to take posts w/a grain of salt. However, after months of reading his posts I personally am convinced that every one of his posts are honest and sincere. In the past I've confirmed numerous statements that he made with my own due diligence (Days/Weeks/Months after he posted it). He's earned my respect and admiration.

By the way..... I just got back from Rice King.... I love fortune cookies.

How often do you get this in fortune cookies Retired?!?! Just curious ;)


"... I get the distinct impression Chaz & Chuck would not willfully run a company such as L-Scan into the ground. IMO, its not in their nature..."

I second that, Chas is about leveraging not destroying!NeoMedia patented and will continue to patent their vision of "Connecting the Physical World to the Internet". They've stated numerous times that they are not attempting that the the market is to big for a single company to fully control. IMO they will partner w/company's that are not directly competing w/their applications (Example: PaperClick For Cell Phones) AirClic is definitely someone they want to destroy ;) AirClic took advantage of NeoMedia's vulnerability without hesitation (See #2 + Notes for a reminder). I doubt NEOM will show them any compassion.


A few people on RB have qeustioned whether or not NeoMedia's "bridging" solution is unique. The question is not whether NEOM's solution is unique but whether it was unique in 1995. Hint; They've patented their "solution", its unique!! OT: Wongyal; Take a serious look @ CMKX, I'm in @ .0001.

To all the RB bashers. I don't pump because I bought, I buy becuase I'm pumped and if you bash I hope you sell/sold.

NeoMedia Technologies and AirClic Opt Not to Form Alliance - Negotiations for Patent Licence Continue

FORT MYERS, FL - August 14, 2001 -- NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOM), the international leader in print-to-Internet and commerce-enabling technology, said today NeoMedia and AirClic Inc. of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, will not pursue a Letter of Intent signed last month to form a strategic and financial alliance.

Charles W. Fritz, NeoMedia's chairman and CEO, said the two companies are currently continuing negotiations concerning the granting of a license to AirClic under NeoMedia's patents.

Fritz also said that NeoMedia received $500,000 from AirClic in July, which was an advance against royalties and is covered by a secured promissory note. With the Letter now terminated, Fritz said no further advances will be made by AirClic to NeoMedia, with the monies previously received to be repaid in six months. <http://www.neom.com/corporate/press/2001/20010814.jsp>
