Thanks: BTW I'm not a gamer at all. We had a game device (that a neighbor gave us and I don't even know who made it) in our house for two weeks a couple of years ago and my kids seemed to get addicted to it. I got tired of seeing my kids glued to a TV and gave the thing back to the neighbor. While I don't know much about these things I do know that kids (and adults) seem to like to play them. Given that newer chips are making them more life like and the population demographics are on the rise for kids and teenagers indicate to me that this isn't a declining market, rather the opposite. This introduction of the Dreamcast (128bit) will probably do for games and game software what the pentium did for PC's, creating a upgrade cycle of new sales. I did note today (and the last couple) a healthy amount of buying interest on AUTEX for institutional buying interest.....Prudential's increase in 2nd qtr earnings probably helped a bit. Would like to see ELBO hit the $25/share target. Best Regards, Mad2
