Steve, I messed up also. I didn't get order confirmation in a timely manner so I thought I had hit the cancel button instead of enter order. I re entered the order and got both confirms at the same time so I have twice the position I was looking for. I am not that unhappy about it. The stock is splitting 2/1 at the end of Aug. which may have some effect and there is a rumor that Microsoft is looking to take an equity position in a wireless provider to offer cellular internet connections. Wireless ISP is probably the next generation and as the wireless prices come down it makes sense. Many people (about 27%) don't have a wired phone at home, prefering instead to have one phone number that they take with them wherever they go. NXLK is establishing a nation wide cellular/fibre system that would be a good fit for MSFT. This is just speculation on my part but MSFT has announced their intentions to look at wireless IPS. cdaiseyPhD@research.com
