Steve--I hope you didn't jump into IWIN. I thought I'd get some mileage out of it, given its representatives were featured on CNBC. My plan was to do IWIN and hopefully with some profits jump into NZRO if it was still available. But the IWIN interview didn't do anything for its price. It stayed flat after the interview, so I sold at a buck and a half loss. So it goes! But to my pleasant surprise I found NetZero in a stall, so I tried to get on board at 27. A server error--ironic I was using my girlfriend's AOL at the time--delayed that purchase. I finally got it at 28 1/16. And happy I did! I think NZRO is still a great buying opportunity and will have some more juice in it on Monday. There's no doubt that college students will surely save up for some beer money by dumping their expensive AOL, et. al., accounts in order to surf the web on NZRO. In fact, I foresee one of most massive subscription cancellation rates in the history of business as more and more folks, due to the hoopla of NZRO's IPO, give up the paid service for the free one. I think the value of the NZRO is gonna rise on the premise of "Try and Buy," try the service and buy the stock. We'll see. Still behind in reading the messages on this thread and will hopefully catch up by tomorrow night. Looks like a lot's being discussed. Foundry--Wow! A lot going on, huh! Best to all--have a great weekend!!!
