Dead thread or what? Not even anyone to post the big news. FWIW, I heard a BWT ad on the radio in LA today. Sounded like they gave a DJ a free whitening and he was saying how good and how easy it was, and that if it worked for him . . . . It will be interesting to see this quarter's results. I have no position right now. biz.yahoo.com Tuesday December 14, 9:10 am Eastern Time Company Press Release BriteSmile Names New Board Members Appointments Bring Expertise in Finance and Marketing to Company WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 14, 1999-- BriteSmile Inc.
