> Is it "fair"? What is? I didn't mean it wasn't fair. There were just times that I thought - "That was a $10K meeting..." I won't say that I'm in love with ETrade, but the few IPOs I managed to get in on have certainly helped flesh out my portfolio!

Good Morning Gerald... I agree with you. This whole FCFS -vs- LOTTERY is getting way out of hand. Now instead of clicking all afternoon we will spend all afternoon filling out IOI's for the ten seperate accounts that we open. My point is that we will addapt to the change somehow and someone will complain that that is unfair too. I really don't care either way. James is correct in that I no longer have to neglect work but I will miss the adrenaline rush of a new IOI window. I still get excited when I see the "Go Now->" symbol even though I have time to DD the company and go to lunch before filling out the IOI. It will still be fun I guess. M
