renamed the kindergarden thread in honour of Haystack & Dil

ROTFLMAO - Dil's thread... is dead!!!! LOL!!!

Another joker.

Lesk , thanks for the dedication mate ... thrown dolly out the pram again have we ?

Anyone here have access to Michael Walters site where I understand they are discussing a bullish press release from Windriver Systems in the USA ?.My contact tells me that this outfit are giving rave reviews to MMD and they are talking about serious orders.

It would be surprising if Wind River was not bullish about Motion Media as the MM745 uses an Operating System (RTOS) from Windriver Systems. I would guess that any serious orders are just hype and speculation. It is pretty common for technology partners to be bullish about each other's parts of any deals, whether they sell any or not. This old news anyway. It is interesting that MMD are maing more of it than Wind River Systems. You have to really hint for the news item on their Web site. What initially looks like a news story turns out to be just marketing hype.


Motion Media Technologys mm745 videophone delivers TV-quality video calls with the same ease as a traditional telephone.

13 January 2003-Wind River Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:WIND), the worldwide market leader in embedded software and services, today announced that the worlds first Internet videophone developed by UK-based Motion Media Technology uses Wind River real time operating system (RTOS), VxWorks, to control the delivery of TV-quality video calls with the same ease of use as a standard telephone.

"It is interesting that MMD are making more of it than Wind River Systems."

I'd say the opposite is true given that Windriver have included an interview with John Martin, MMD's technical director:

This link is not to Windriver Systems. It is to Espial software. They are just another supplier to MMD for the mm745. At least get your facts and research right. It might help to read the internet page that you are linking to.

It's a fair cop :-) I did that one too quickly!

It's an interesting interview though. A few snippets of information that haven't come out anywhere else.

Can MMD investors have any faith left in the company after two Directors have resigned and 12 employees were sacked, presumably due to lack of cash to last them long enough for orders to appear. What has happened to the orders that were promissed in the prospectus for the placing and rights issue at the beginning of the year. The rampers are still in evidence on various BBs. The usual nonsence is being purveyed, such as "I have a secret source that I cannot reveal that tells me that orders are just around the corner, so buy now while they are cheap". This is all very reminiscent of companies like Dialog just before they went belly up. The only thing MMD haven't tried is a change of name.

This must be some kind of record, an MMD thread without a ramp for four months!

Some MMD threads have more ramps than a multi storey!

A LOT more.

I have been kicked off one .... for not being a ramper.

I thought I might find you three here - lol.

Dil, I asked the power that be:

Well I don't think it was for ramping them :-)

The fact is I cannot access the mmd thread so have effectivley been censored.

oh I see, you've been banned from just that thread?

Yes , either that or everyone has edited all their posts.

Hmmmm, I would say the former!

Oh dear , must have been something I said to that nice Mr Lesk.

Dil
What their man is trying to say is that you have been banned from that thread for posting unacceptable material of quality below required standard.

All IMHO DYOR WHFO TIAA and all that.

Can anyone join in here or is this thread reserved for Dil? (Sorry, Haystack, move over, give a chap some room.)

I have a theory that MMD is a sort of left-over from the dot-com bubble, an overhyped tech stock that hasn't got the energy to burst.
