Somebody apparently dumped 200,000 shares today and the stock tanked.

Also, yesterday's release on earnings didn't help.

Looks like they spent way too much marketing Chunkit.

It's a little hard to read in my browser, but it looks like Pick
support revenues stayed about the same.

Did they really thing Chunkit was going to make them another Google?

Tony,
Your time would be better spent offering to port D3 applications to QM.
That's a business opportunity now.

I will be happy to give him a hand - I am porting over a 70 user D3
system to QM and we are growing it to 100 users.

Hi Eugene,
I believe the future of D3 is QM.

If I were looking for work in MV I would be calling all D3 clients and
offering services to port them to QM.

Good to note your praise of QM. My main client is seriously considering
converting.

If you ever find a way to replicate Screen Gen and Vision on QM, gimme a
holler. Larry doesn't answer his phone or return calls any longer which means
I'm not only trapped into D3 until I can find the time (not) to rewrite the
accounting system, but I'm trapped at v7.4.0/Linux because the SG/Vision modes
won't work on any version newer than that. *snarls*

No lack of appreciation for QM here. I love the QM software and
Martin is one of the top few "A++" vendors in this industry for
quality in support. But without more word from larger QM sites, and
major growth at LadyBridge to support larger demand, my bet has to go
to InterSystems for Caché and Northgate for Reality. They're both
enterprise-scale products and they work on workstations too. Their
companies are VERY large, meaning an odd bus here or there won't
determine whether we're going to get product updates. At this point,
let's consider all of the MV products technically the same. If we
take the little technical things off the table we're left with who we
are going to trust our clients with for a long term relationship, and
who our larger prospects are going to trust when they're looking for a
company to support their entire data processing core. I'm sorry but
there is passion and there's solid business reasoning, and while we
can go with passion for some sites, for others (the clients who really
pay the bills) we're going to have to make better business decisions.

Oh boy, here we go...

I'm willing to take that bet and I'm not a betting man.
Martin's price, product and support are unbeatable. Also, he is not going
anywhere.

Does QM have a Java interface like Reality's JReal and Unidata/Universe
UniObjects. Interbase also has a Java interface.
