    **"*@Zvi*"***...* You decided in 1997"watching the playing field and
    competing with Microsoft to sell NetManage for lack of possible
    future profits, a right decision at the right time. You forgot one
    badly treated asset in NetManage's portfolio, the Information
    Manager EccoPro, the original dream of Arabesque, acquired a year
    earlier. Once Microsoft started charging for Outlook, EccoPro would
    have been a perfect fit for today's mobile information environment.
    Since 1997 worldwide 7000 dedicated EccoPro users understood the
    incredible value created by Arabesque, improved the last NetManage
    release and adjusted their beloved program to today's operating
    systems, including Windows 8. "

    Zvi Alon**"Thank you for the note, I am also full of joy to realize
    the strong (7000) support for the expanded vision NetManage brought
    to Arabesque creation, as well as the progress it made. Too bad I am
    now on the Mac and I will not be able to join the party. In one of
    my positions, Chairman of BIA Protect -- Electronic Discovery, the
    legal space, I wish we could have helped in advancing the reach to
    more users. Best Zvi """
