Rich,

Early Out is absolutely correct. Options you get pre-IPO are worthless. I've seen IPO's with 10:1 reverse "splits" that is for every 10 shares you own pre-IPO you get one post-IPO. Furtthermore it's pratictally impossible to determine what the cap of company will be after it goes public. The one thing I disagree with Early Out on is that the pre-IPO shares are indeed worth the paper their printed on .... but that's all :-)
