Nice positive ADSL news today...things are really starting to get rollin.
As WSTL/AMTX stock gets squeezed downward it reminds me of a 10 ft spring being retracted to just about an inch. When it gets to an inch watch out...wouldn't want to get in the way of that spring unloading...looking forward to the AMTX/WSTL merger beign complete and the beginning of the new year!!!
By the way...when did COMS hook up with AFCI (see #2 below)????
