Sounds like the hard work is done, that was a good link to that interview. As a long term shareholder that is what you like to hear. We going to grow within are means in a way that doesn't exhaust existing resources or endanger the underlying business model. Let's just say hypothetically they can grow re occurring revenues from subscriptions and apps to 5M run rate. Slap a 2x sales value ...more
