Peace RR! As I said, half the time I see it that way too.

I guess one could assume that Ampex is stupid and that they screwed up an opportunity to attract attention. I don't choose to make that assumption. I assume that they invited some people to view it live, but were aware of the limitations of their server capacity and elected to delay the press release until the very last minute so that most people would watch on delayed replay. And the replay is just as good as live since there were no live questions. As for PR, I think we should give Ampex the benefit of the doubt at this point. The key question is how many people view the replay, and where the stock goes from here. It is far too early to declare this PR effort a failure, and I believe that we will continue to reap the benefits of a very well done show for quite awhile. I apologize for the remark about options, and I do recall that it was futures you previously traded. Good luck, Carl
