Guys & Gals:

Someone talked to Turner & let me know what's going on.

Here are the facts as to our beta test last night.
Two points stand out:
1.Demand is huge
2.Problems are identified & solvable

Our testing a few weeks ago with Showtime was with one server. On the Bond event we went out with multiple servers. (10
locations with 10,000 per server)

Apparently about 90% of those attempting to log on were unable. Only about 10% were successful in getting in.
Turner used the expression "The baby was born". It was not perfect but it was quite apparent to all involved that there is
huge demand.

The problem...one of the main problems centered around the graphics in the factoid frame.

Turner was responsible for the graphics. For those who saw the complete graphics, they were phenomenal. What I saw was
extremely detailed graphics that were moving & twirling very slowly.

They were so detailed & involved the graphics slowed things down dramatically. There were a few other glitches but the main
problem was the graphics.

These issues are solvable. It is possible today's shows will not be powered by HyperTV as they want to clear up
these issues & get the problems ironed out.

Great shows will be up & running.
Turner believes that by tomorrow in all likelihood they can be resolved.
