echos: TALL
I was very impressed by your post. TALL's expenses seem to be well short of what might be required to provide 'excellence' in software maintenance and support of such a diverse product lineup. No doubt they are taking many shortcuts that could ultimately haunt them and scare away customers. I own no shares of TALL, but had been considering taking a small position. I now have a better perspective of the Company, and might still buy a few shares, but on a somewhat different premise. A good PR job by the Company might still lead to short term gains in the stock price, but their long term outlook would seem to be fraught with uncertainty.
PS I spent 18 years with IBM in network support, but also dabbled in software development. I still enjoy writing code periodically for my own use, and consider it to be a form of mathematical poetry.
