</span></font><font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:sans-serif'>The demise of PowerHouse</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>1.
ADT income no longer included in share holder reports</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>2.
ADT tools dissapear from product list on Cognos website</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>3.
ADT tools no longer mentioned by sales people</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>4.
ADT tools no longer included in conference presentations</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>5.
Dramatic slow down in development/enhancements/new features</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>6.
Deal made with Speedware, once only mentioned by Cognos in disparaging terms,
to support ADT tools. Speedware advertising in past put down PowerHouse
and encourages Cognos customers to port PH apps to "modern" tools
(i.e. Java).</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>My
prediction:</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>7.
Development/enhancement work on PH stopped completely by Cognos</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>8.
Cognos and Speedware announce deal where Cognos sells PowerHouse to Speedware.</span></font>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>9.
Speedware takes over support (taking a few of the youngest and most promising
ADT developers from Cognos to boot) and license income.</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>10.
Speedware induces PH customers to "modenise" their PH apps by
offering special deals and perhaps increasing annual license fees on PH.</span></font>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>11.
PowerHouse RIP</span></font> <br>

I just a cynical pessimist? Does it matter?</span></font> <br>
