Peter Hofstra GEAC Computer GAC-T DON'T BUY Aug 22, 2005

Has had a good run and may be time to lock in your profits. Would have concerns on its growth trajectory. 50% of the business is services driven by software sales. If the software sales are not there, then the service revenue will eventually be hurt.
