Art- You seem very unconcerned about Wink. MSFT made a $30 Million investment, and MSFT is at least as big of a "big boy" as LMG is in terms of equity investments. Wink landed AT&T's interactive advertising contract and looks like they picked up all the non-Fox Sports programming from Fox. I can think of a few possible reactions... my initial reaction to Wink has always been to pretty much ignore them because they are analog and we're digital. But there are 20 times as many analog boxes as digital boxes out there. I'm disappointed that Fox went with Wink, but IATV's interactive television is better suited to Sports than it is to Melrose Place. However, I'm adding this to the very negative price action recently. Sure, the whole market has been down, but I bought at 14+ a week or two ago and stock is under 10, that's like 30-some percent in a few days which is far more than the market as a whole. Some here have been using Q4 as the rollout date for interactive tv but the company hasn't put anything out that says anything other than Q3. Likewise, you have said that HyperTV will roll out in 3Q but I've seen nothing about that either. You'd think the company would put out a release about one or the other of those two things. Maybe they're waiting until earnings, which are due out when? -Mike
