Steve, Looks like close was + 1/16 with last trade a 14k+ at the ask. A little off topic but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following. I spent a couple days last week at a local office of All-Tech, which was founded by Harvey Houtkin (of SOES fame). It was quite educational to use a Level II machine and see the various MM's and their respective bid/ask. The lightening quick ability to buy/sell was nice. My question is given all the technological advances and changes in the way we trade (full service to discount brokers to deep discounters to internet trading to ....), does it make sense that Level II may become much more prevalent in peoples homes? Certainly there are plenty of individuals who have Level II now. But as the cost of such access becomes more affordable it would seem that a lot of individual investors would want Level II to further level the playing field. And I'm not referring just to day traders, but short term players as well. I mean who would have thought 10 years ago we'd trade through the internet? Thanks. Dave
