(Not directed at you Al!)

Third time I've shut down the computer and started it up again tonight! Thinking about my remark a little more, my primary motive was not to put down the shareholders so much as to say: “Wait a minute, we have not once really thought that the not live broadcast for not shareholders was in fact for shareholders. I am thinking, consciously; giving the loyal shareholders who have hung in there over the last 6 months a legal leg up, and that perhaps a vote of thanks to Mr. Bramson was due…as opposed to our endless criticism of him from the way he handles the company to the way he brushes his teeth.

As for the bump today, again I think the factors mentioned were the proximate cause, but there is a larger picture now. The inflection point thing. A large number of positive factors are beginning to overwhelm the picture, probably sending us into a benevolent cycle.

I list, (and I am sure there are more):

5 months out we are expecting some new (let's keep our expectations within bounds) technical innovations which will somewhat improve the picture quality. Perhaps the single-most important factor for positively impressing the general public.

It is the beginning of a new month, quarter and a new half.

We appear to have made it onto the Russell 2000.

We have been told, and we have seen concrete evidence of it, that the Publicity/Marketing story will get put into high gear starting now.

There is a (say within six months) possibility of an IPO of iNEXT.

There is likely to be some alliance with some unit in Great Britain.

The Redeemabomanables are out of the way for another two months.

There is a whole pile of new channels in the works.

Every new pile on of buyers, (this is the third wave), makes higher highs easier: New buyers at 4-5 want to see 8-10 these days; that's 600,000 shares out of the float in the last ten minutes of the day.

Who's going to add to the list?
