Then I can come back to NWPO when it's back to a dollar and buy lots more.
Dell news? You are on your own here, but be careful, do more DD on the previous three partners, lots of more DD if you are still on-board.
Good luck Pens..do what you gotta do (this ain't the ICMH thread LOL) Don't forget the old BoS Club if you come across something good, OK? Later, PP

my two buddies are trying to sale their shares at 1.09 and it won't go, one received an e-mail stating no such deal at all with Dell. Froggy, can you assist. The longer the news take to come out the faster this baby will drop, the volume has been low and people that have more than 20K shares can really impact the price if they get out.
I'm watching closely and will continue, I feel it will continue to drop to .85 or maybe the 90's
Good luck to all....
FROGGY any idea of DELL news? NWPO needs it bad..

Came back from getting some coffee and I see a nice 15% drop. It's cool, not like we haven't been thru this before.
Good move pens, too late for me to take any action though - have to just ride it back up. I still think it will peak after Dell news, so waiting on that big time

Eire, unfortunately scottrade doesn't (that I know of...maybe Scottrade Elite)....I think Chad mean't that those are the MM signals that they are sending with 100 share blocks ("I need shares.")

From HP's website. Notice in the "Management Made Easy" section that they talk about storage with NO ADMINISTRATION. Is the HP agreement more than we thought??
(Editor's note: Ann Livermore spoke recently to a number of Enterprise storage customers outlining HP's vision of storage of the future resulting in this article.)
July 2005 -- For the last several years, HP has focused on helping customers build an Adaptive Enterprise, in which business and IT are synchronized to capitalize on change. Storage is a critical part of that strategy, because huge quantities of real-time information are necessary to drive an Adaptive Enterprise.
An Adaptive Enterprise requires storage resources that can be dynamically deployed simply by pushing a button. It requires resources that can be reallocated to deliver different services when needed, and do it reliably, with resources that grow to fit business needs.
The demands for information and the opportunities to turn data into revenue are only going to grow. We are all looking for more efficient ways to make more data accessible to more people, whether those people are employees, or customers, or solution providers or regulators. We're exploring more options for sharing and delivering data to meet the specific needs of users, such as location-aware information for mobile users.
It is not so much now about where information lives. It is about putting your information to work. It's about unlocking the value of information to help you improve competitiveness and help create new business opportunities.
Networked Storage and Beyond
Today, many of us use network storage to handle diverse, dynamic application requirements. Current storage area networks and networked attached storage can provide significant benefits to business.
But as change accelerates, as the need for greater business agility increases, as more companies become Adaptive Enterprises, they will need to simplify how they acquire and manage storage. And storage solutions will need to have a greater focus on the applications that they support.
The storage environment must continue to evolve, not only to accommodate increasingly demanding IT requirements, but to anticipate future needs.
In other words, this new environment will require a new model for the delivery of storage. And this model the "storage delivery model of the future" will be characterized by several major attributes.
Enter StorageWorks Grid
First, storage should be easily acquired, deployed and managed. Storage capabilities should be scalable in many dimensions, including capacity, performance, resilience and geographic dispersion. Furthermore, it is desirable that storage capabilities are deployed as they are needed.
These issues can be addressed through a more modular architecture. One way to think of it is as a self-managing storage grid. The grid will provide flexible, scalable, large-scale shared pools of storage and will include provisioning and other storage-management features.
At HP, we have the concept of an HP StorageWorks Grid. This serves as a storage architecture blueprint for our strategic investments. The HP StorageWorks Grid will perform the functions of today's network storage while scaling differently and providing integrated management of the storage grid as though it were a single system.
How will this work?
The HP StorageWorks Grid will consist of a modular hardware infrastructure. The individual building block modules are built from high-volume commodity hardware. We call them smart cells. Each smart cell contains storage media for example, disk or tape drives. Each smart cell also contains a central processing unit and perhaps cache memory as well.
Smart cells are characterized by useful combinations of physical storage attributes and management control points. By networking these smart cells together, you can create a peer-to-peer grid that forms a very flexible, unified and agile ecosystem. The ecosystem is capable of providing real-time scalability.
The concept of the HP StorageWorks Grid represents a logical evolution from today's SANs. A storage grid can be added to an existing SAN, just like a conventional storage array. Or a storage grid can be created from scratch.
In either case, the HP StorageWorks Grid will be managed as a single entity analogous to a storage array.
Management Made Easy
This brings me to the second attribute of the storage delivery model of the future: It will present just one entity to manage. The modular storage grid will be viewed and controlled as a single system image from an administrative point of view.
The system will be designed from the ground up to be self-managing. Tasks traditionally associated with storage resource management will be accomplished by the utility itself, with no administrative involvement.
The system will include the necessary features for an administrator to monitor, configure and control the system as a unit. But it will not require an administrator to know anything about the individual smart cells. Instead, administrators will deal with business application requirements.
The promise of large-scale storage pooling virtualization will be fully realized.
Services Served-up on the StorageWorks Grid
The third attribute of the future storage delivery model is that the HP StorageWorks Grid will be designed as a service-oriented architecture.
Everything that is traditionally thought of as information technology can be rendered as a grid service. This includes computer systems, a quantity of computer cycles, storage space, a printer, an application, a data file, a set of records in a database, and more. Virtually any IT resource can be rendered in the form of a grid service.
Think of this service in the same way that you think about a consumer service anything from hiring a repairman to downloading a music file. You need a service. You find it. You request or purchase it. And, finally, it is provided to you. The storage grid infrastructure will enable each service to be registered, discovered, provisioned, accessed, shared, removed, managed, monitored, metered and even billed for.
The high-level view, then, is that the HP StorageWorks Grid will enable a loosely coupled, service-based IT world.
It is clear that this vision for the future of storage is comprehensive and ambitious. The HP StorageWorks Grid represents a much more capable, application-focused environment than is possible today.
It will take several years to fully develop. It will be an evolutionary journey. But it's a journey that you can start on today. It's a journey that many of our customers have already begun.
(Editor's note: HP has begun to deliver on this concept with the Reference Information Storage System (RISS), Scalable File Share (SFS), and Enterprise File Services (EFS) Clustered Gateway offerings.)
HP is qualified to deliver the full value and potential of storage to our customers. As a leader in the industry, HP has the investments, the integration and the innovation that are required for the next generation of storage.

Pens, I think you made a bad move! But we'll see... Wouldn't it suck for you if Dell news came out at 4:01pm today? I wouldn't want you to be on the boat for soooo long and then get out the day of the news! Ya know... Oh well, you're out, good luck.

What's the sense of the email? They aren't going to tell you of a deal that's done until the PR comes out... You think they are going to say " yeah we have Dell on board" without PR? come on....

I find it very strange that MMs like ETRD are trying to sell shares so cheap. The next MMs are at $1.16 (NITE and SACM). Something is not adding up. ETRD doesn't sell any shares until we drop the price down to $1.10? Doesn't jive.

No prob Eire...Pens was the email from Newport? I am a little confused, if you could post it that would be cool. But yeah, if it was from Newport or Spare, then of course they couldn't disclose that information.
At this point I wouldn't trust myself to get out just because I think this Dell news is right around the corner, doesn't make sense not to take advantage of the hype it will bring IMO. Pens, right now you could even buy back and you made a cool 10% profit of shares...All just my two cents though and GL of course
