Erm, well the page you pointed to specifically only gives me 404 not found errors in the bottom frame. Top nav frame works but most of the pages that I click on from it give 404 errors also.

The site doesn't seem to be in good working order; a lot of the text is in white and the background should be in black, but it is in white too so you have to highlight everything. Maybe this isn't as good of a sign as we hoped.:(

Then again, maybe they're updating it.:D

SuperFreaky,
How is BellSouths ADSL? I'm taking about their service and how reliable they are? I used to be on BellAtlantic ADSL and throughput was real laggy. The gateway would time out many times throughout the day.

I'm very happy w/ them! I can think of only once in the 6 months I've had the service that the server was down... and haven't noticed any lag (and I play some UT now and then) Great price too right now... free install, free modem... 2nd month free.

Pulled off or 3D Sound Surge. Aureal the company is basically officially dead.

"Sool Pigeon let us know that Steve Mitchell, current COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Aureal, has sent in his resume to hotjobs.com with the following interesting bit:

CURRENTLY: Appointed Chief Operating Officer in April 2000 after all other officers and senior management resigned and company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Sole officer representing corporation and leading company through partial asset sale. Full responsibility for closing company and asset liquidation.
From what I managed to gather "partial asset sale" refers to Aureal's proprietary technology while "asset liquidation" refers to computers and other physical assets being sold. I also learnt from 2 different sources that should have at least some insight that the chances of someone buying Aureal's proprietary technology is currently looking good. I have no info what the potential buyer intend to do with the technology or even if it includes both the A3D software and Vortex hardware.
On one Aureal investment forum people says the two major shareholders are still buying stocks which if true indicates they believe they could get something from the company some way or another. Worth noting Aureal isn't listend anymore on the stock exchange so not that easy to buy or sell shares anymore."
