hello benton,

    just read your self described diatribe and saw a major flaw in the information.  in the interest of keeping this forum totally factual i thought i best speak up.

to quote: " Interestingly, I did discover that Lexmark All-In-One printers are not highly aerodynamic, as mine stalled at probably about an air speed of 40 knots from an altitude of about 5 feet as it flew across my office and skidded across my glass coffee table (it left a plastic skid mark that I had to scrap off). "

it is obvious, if you read the "journal of printer aerodynamics" (the acknowledged leader in this field of study),  that you are exagerating the air speed, no recorded air speed for this printer model has ever exceeded 37 knots from the altitude you describe!  also though i will concede your estimate of the newly acquired hp was spot on!

since this forum has lately gotten so heavy i thought it might help to add some humor (hopefully) before getting to your serious comments.

i totally AGREE with what you say regarding noront in your post.  the news release was very good news.  many speculators let the "fake out shake out" of the stock price cause them to doubt what they just read.  noront is making good  progress on all fronts.

no it is not a slam dunk from here, i don't think anyone credible has ever said it was.  however the risk reward still favors the bold.

keep up the good work and i hope you have better luck with the hp printer then the lexmark.  also congrats on the 40+ hands, i think that is a new record for this forum.

as always,

everyone should do their own homework,

be right and sit tight.

regards,

jeff
