I liked what the company was doing and how they were going about it (for the most part) so yes I picked up a reasonable chunk of shares. I was not impressed that a non-brokered private placement was done, with insiders, while being told uncategorically that they did NOT intend to do one at these lower levels. I don't particularly care that one was done, I just didn't overly appreciate being told that one was definitely NOT going to happen until after it moved a bit. Now, having said that, it is possible that the delays caused financing issues that simply had to be taken care of. I have been on vacation and have been TOTALLY out of touch during that time, so have not been able to ask. You can be sure I will. Salut, Leigh McBain

Hello Biff, I was doing some kitchen table calculations regarding the Tri Vue deal and the numbers are quite fantastic. My assumptions are: the 50,000 South American hotel rooms will obviously be rented to people who wish the gaming feature, meaning to me they are likely to actively play. Assume US $50 per room per day is $2,500,000 per day x 365 = $912,500,000 handle per year. Assume MTK/Tri-Vue received 5% admin/handling fee, $45,625,000 divide by 6,000,000 shares = $7.60 per share in annual revenue [ pre expenses ] on this deal. Multiply by 2 if they secure the other 50,000 rooms. Looks good even with 2%. Hmmmm! What am I missing? Good Fortunes, willyum
