Beau; I think we have mentioned the very simple items we check on, other matters however form part of our security protocol and structure so really can't comment on.

What I can say however is that the telco , ISP and web industry work very closely and help each other in helping to stamp out web abuse. If we have a problem the others rally round etc.

Looks like we are going to have a trade buy today for 1M.

some one on another BB has bought 900k this week and sold them last night to
prove he was not lying!
Well, he now says he is going to buy a Million

watch this space!!

If TT's information is correct, then this would revolutionise the delivery of games to PCs. So much so it would give PC gamers a huge competitive advantage against specialist games machines (X box I discount as sales figures are SO bad - I saw them, can't remember but 1/10th of PS2 is the the order of magnitude)

The ability to download a game on a trial basis before you buy would significantly affect the sales of specialist games sellers and increase sales of good games. It would also mean that discerning buyers would be able to avoid poor games so a double edged sword for the games industry.

Catalogue sellers of volume software would I imagine also be affected as would probably software piracy if security was good enough..

Could long term change how volume software is sold.... Interesting for the industry. I would imagine could provide very large revenues for Tadpole - most importantly on an ONGOING basis if sold on a "cost per download" basis as suggested.

Madafish - I agree (assuming TT is correct). I remember a short article in the Evening Standard about a year ago in which Tad's anti-piracy software was being hailed as a major breakthrough. I was wondering recently whether I had imagined the article as nothing had occurred since!

in order to impliment s/w on to a games platform you need a license from the hardware manufacturer (abs. no way around this). I would be amazed, in fact astounded, if Tad had even spoken to these manufacturers.

Downloading demos!! you can already do this - check out ANY of the games sites.

I think your opinions above are, to say the least, misleading!!!

rjs - presumably the possibility of downloading the whole game (not just a demo) is rather more appealing to players - subject to timed invalidity and non-replication capabilities built into the software. I don't think Madafish was suggesting a fundamental shift in dowloading beyond those features but I ought to let him defend himself.

I was talking about fully functional games. On a PC platform. I quote "this would revolutionise the delivery of games to PCs"

Nowhere do I say TAD is downloading to a games machine.. so how can I mislead?

I am sorry rjs misread me but my intention was not to do so....

as a tad fan i find it a little worrying that ive just been offered a T20 for 17.65p ( 50k )

Superrod
Do you mean another price as 17.65 is above the touch anyway

I see there is a large buy showing after the market has closed of 1.1m shares at 18.5

Yes: It's not mine:-) I buy in smaller lots:-)

So it did appear then, even slightly larger than I forcast this
morning. Well I dont know what is going on, but it does make me wonder if the 900k wasn't a buy as well. Either way it paves the way for a good start on Monday.

So remember get up early Monday or you might miss some of the action. LOL

You and your getting up early, mind you it has been worth it this week, I don't mind get up early every day if we have a 10% rise every week.
:-))))

I've heard Monday mentioned several times today. I wonder, could it be for real this time. There have been so many false predictions, I won't let my hopes get too high. But, I won't be able to stay away, just in case!!!!!!!!

Get up early, well, if good news is released, the price won't peak 'till at least mid-morning if not later. (Famous last words!)

Come on, own up. Who's the idiot that got up early today?
Besides me that is!

LOL

Gail The Chin.....oops....meant 17.35p.....50k T 20 when the offer was 17.5. i took 15k ( which i previously sold for 17.68p )

Superrod
One mm has been happy to do extended settlement well inside the touch for weeks, I made 2 purchases this week T20 or more for the mid price both times.
They weren't happy to do the first one at the mid and the dealer came back and said they want the touch , I told them to leave it and 10 secs later the trade flashed up.

yuff

you dont find that a little worrying?

Tks for replying Bullshare. Understood.

Tks too super.

Nice w/e all.

Beau

Not really, the mm's probably know less about what is going on than we do and are probably taking a position, they also are in control of the price and therefore if they need to get some shares at a lower price they have the ability to manipulate the price.
I remember buying some at the mid price a year ago at about 7.5p on a T25 from MLSB and I remember thinking the same as you, a week later I sold them for 11p, so I think they are just running a book and the actual cost to them for extended settlement is minimal.
