Allan Sacks & M. M. Jones:

Yes. It appears that ZITL got its gears in reverse. According to elusive King, alpha test is conducted using sampled or canned data, and common sense tells you that you can make anything fly using canned stuff (I once opened up a can of honey bees and they flew out in a jiffy). Beta test involves live data and is, of course, a lot more difficult. I recall I once hid my third concubine's birthday in lunar calendar within that date field just to piss off my jealous wife about forty years ago. If their beta test can detect it, then I will plunge in with both feet, head first into this hot-air balloon and ride it until Newton's Law of Gravity (Gravy train? Did I hear Gravy train?) prevails.

Yes. Elusive King stated that it was 33%. Call it creative accounting or mis-calculation or somthing, this number is now cast in concrete. The decrease of 5.7% ownership should logically imply a decrease of share price roughly to that amount. Yet in today's trading, this thing went up. I guess there must be an Ace hidden somewhere up King's sleeve. Could it be a new "washing machine" that automatically fixes the Y-2000 problem after you laundry your dirty source tapes in it? Very interesting. Let me contact my Whirlpool tech reps and see if they have anything whirling in that line.

Best wishes from a mad monk.
