Chuck, what about this??
PALM DESERT, CALIF. (March 5) BUSINESS WIRE -March 5, 1997--Pat Hayton, president of PowerTel USA Inc. (NASDAQ:PTUSA) stated that the first of several planned acquisitions has taken place.
This signals the planned expansion of PowerTel into the communications area. PowerTel completed the acquisition of the Theme Communications Group on Feb. 28, 1997. The purchase price is $4 million, payable in dollar-denominated preferred stock, convertible over two years.
The Theme companies provide VCR and CD products on a contract basis to clients like Citibank, Chase and Bank of America. The companies also publish specialized food and in-flight magazines. Total group revenues exceed $10 million annually.
Hayton further said, "These companies' products enable financial institutions to use a `soft sell' in their efforts to collect past- due auto loan and credit card debt. The products are proven to be very effective in dramatically increasing collection rates without alienating the client. We intend to dramatically increase the marketing of these products nationwide, either grow or spin off certain magazine assets."
Through its other divisions, PowerTel develops and operates geo-thermal and wind-generated power systems in Nevada and California.

P.S. I just looked at their stock price, showing $2500 a share on volume of 18,000,000, I think we just hit the jackpot at Vegas..... not....got to be an error.... but on AOL I used their stock look up price and that is what it is showing. I have my portfolio on their thread and have PTUSA on with my other winners....and boy I am rich...almost $2mil on PTUSA, I am also going to copy that page and put it right next to the PTUSA frame, went from food stamps to passing out food stamps.....

Gary the millionaire, I think that is the way to spell it, but then it will take some time to get use to, like maybe an hour or so....
