mandrake begs for cash

[zscoundrel]

You COULD buy some warrants.  At $2.15 per warrant, 100 warrants is only 
$215.  Then when they DO announce they are operating profitably the 
underlying stock price will just several dollars a share.

I wouldn't invest the rent money, but if you had a couple hundred set 
aside for - let's say a playstation or something - it could possibly 
give you a tasty little return on your dollars.  Not to mention saving 
the company that puts together the Linux distro that you love.
