Hi Dennis, its been a wild week so far for my portfolio, RAIN hits 37, but then backs off for a bit, and IOM announces their new CLIK! mini-drive system with 40 MB in a disk the size of a silver dollar and announce a 2 for 1 stock split the same week. If you have time go up the iomega.com and check out this new "paridigm shift" in mini storage... just amazing as far as its ultimate potential in the marketplace. One analyst says it could add 1 billion to the bottomline by yr 2k. Anyway, I told my wife that so far our "Sparky Fund" has done very well this year.

OT... I have been assisting a film crew working on a Discovery Channel 2 hour series on the building of the Panama Canal. I have turned out to be a "mosquito wrangler" for them by providing live props for their period hospital scenes. Actually developed a photographic cell with live Anopheles mosquitoes inside which was placed in front of the camera lens to provide flying silouettes of malaria mosquitoes in the foreground. Fun to experiment, but not sure if they will get good footage out of the shots tho. Took the crew out to film "swarms" of mosquitos on the banks of the Chagres River, but the skeeters didn't cooperate... lots of mosquito bites! But no swarms for the cameras. El Nino has reduced rainfall considerably this year so this has also reduced the mosquito populations as well.

I will go up to read the "Edge" article after if get this not off to you. Will be looking forward to hearing how the opening of the Phoenix Mills mall goes next week (if we are still on schedule).

Warm regards to you an yours... Mel
