A couple of days ago, when the Dow was up 130 points, the advance/decline ratio was 16/13. Right now, the Dow is down 130 points, and the advance/decline ratio is 4/16. I think we're on the rim of the crater, and the wage inflation news is not going to help. I'm holding IATV, though.

Mike, why so pre-occupied with analog? (No need to answer, you've already explained.) I know you said no need to answer, but really, I don't have a problem with IATV going all-digital. My only concern was that TV Guide Interactive (current version, pre-IATV) has 2 million customers, most of whom are on old analog boxes. The digital customers will receive the IATV-enabled upgrade, which is great. But when they said that all 2 million customers would receive interactive advertising, I was worried that IATV would get shut out because they would pick a solution that would run both on analog and digital. Fortunately, they addressed this in the conference call saying that IATV would be used for some of the advertising (which is the best we could do IMO). -Mike
