All I saw was an attempt at buying off the board and more promises to
consider the possibility of deciding to make a decision about the date
they would be able to discuss the meeting where they might be willing to
discuss the future of MPE sometime in mid 2005.

In other words, I saw an attempted payoff and more stalling.

What I am waiting to see is the response from the board. Maybe they will
even get around to posting something before the mid 2005 date set by HP.
