Mark,
My apologies for not getting back with you. I am leaving town in about 2 minutes. WIll get with you this weekend. Below is part of a press release on Phoenix. I think this has the potential to have a great impact on GMGC. Think of XCIT on 70% of the world's PCs. Think of the agreement with GMGC. Think of the potential exposure to GMGC. THis VBS, I believe, will come out in the late summer or early fall time frame.. It would be nice to see a little GMGC /MagicTalk icon on your PC : )
Take care,
Kurt
PS This ebetween was brought to my attention. I ain't smart to figure this stuff out all by myself:)
