Doug, Sorry about your purchase. The stock has a way of doing that. When it is going down more than up, it is almost impossible to catch it going up. Announcing a new CEO is probably the next jump up. I hope there is a little more pop in the AltaVista sale but I think not.

Windseye - I had heard that someone at Continental was on the short list but this is the first name I have seen attached to the rumor. Continental has been a great turnaround story, and as there are many Continental employees in the Houston area, the change in their morale has been very visible. This is the famous "worst to first" story. Brennenman is young enough to have a lot of fire and drive, is a charismatic leader, and might just be the right choice.
