RE: Well well wellMy copy of the spam came from

I got sucked into reading the body of the spam because it involved scientific computing, and our department has people who specialize in this area.
The new client they announced, LumArray, actually sounds pretty intriguing; I've passed that name on to some people here.
The website for Angstrom Microsystems is very glossy, and cites a lot of very up-to-date trends like liquid cooling for server rooms, cutting power demands while maximizing actual computing performance, etc. Improving the compute-to-power-draw ratio for server rooms is a "hot" topic (sorry!)
Anyway there are a lot of players in that market and I don't see Angstrom having gained a lot of mainstream coverage there yet (outside of spam-land) Also, they tout one of their products under the name "LiquiCool" - but a search on that name shows several other products trying to use that name, at least one of which, Vette Corp., is asserting it as their trademark:

Finally, the stock chart for AGMS looks like none I've ever seen before: a year or more flat at $0.04, then a spike to over a dollar, and now drifting back down. That unregistered placement at $0.04 sounds like it may have made three people very rich, if they can unload much of the 2.1 million shares at today's prices...
The Angstrom website lists lots of press releases going back several years, but is virtually silent through all of 2007. That may coincide with a crisis period when they weren't paying their bills and had those default judgments against them. They seem to be making another stab at marketing lately.
The rest of their website is inconsistent with some recent but a lot of dated stuff, like claiming to have the "latest" Opteron CPUs -- from 2006!
There may be some good technology people doing some worthwhile stuff at AGMS, but the business side gives me the willies
