- takes exceptions to my remark, "Witness the demise of Teknowledge."
-
- Webster gives one definition of demise as "a loss of position or
- status." During the AI heyday, Teknowledge stock traded in the low
- 20's. The last time I checked, Cimflex/Teknowledge was trading at
- 13/16. Teknowledge in its heyday employed well over 100 individuals
- (I think it was closer to 200, but I'm not sure). Now they employ
- some 35.
-
- I have a lot of respect for the 35 people left at Teknowledge; they
- do good work. But there really shouldn't be much disagreement that
- the company is only a shade of its former self.
