Ken, GRIN , you would have to remind me ;-( I was in GRIN a while back based on the Furby craze. The furby is the virtual 'gremlin' , my kid has one and they are great. game.com GRIN had the Canadian rights to it. They were banned by the US government from being brought onto high security premises because they have recordin devices in them and they ' learn' and repeat stuf- a really neat toy.LOL. The owners of the real 'gremlins' sued GRIN for breach of copywrite and won, if you have the origional unchanged furby its worth $1000. GRIN had a great opportunity to s$#ew all the moms and dads out their hard earned money ( and make huge$) by making the furby hard to buy ( remember the cabbage patch dolls?) but decided to sell them for ca$39 in droves. The #s came out, the lawsuit came out, the price dived, I sold, rest is history. Should have kept it and sold on a spike :-( Pokemon is a marketing dream for kids.. take a look. pokemon.com John
