Rande:
This is taken from the toyswhypayretail.com web site:
We are currently putting the finishing touches on our new web site. The
design is completely different from the old version, and you should find
much more friendly and fun to shop. The site will be open the second
week of December so please come back to see our new look.
Some of the improvements you will notice are:

Thousands of products from which to choose, including more
than ten new departments
A powerful search feature that will allow you to find specific
products much more easily
An added express shipping option for quicker delivery
Free standard ground shipping on all orders until the end of the
year

Edit: Any idea whether news of the site release will spark plco, plcow or plcop?

Here is an explanation as to why playco toys chose not to launch the site under the name playco.com:

We are currently hard at work putting the
finishing touches on a new e-commerce site.
This site will feature a large selection of toys at
the lowest possible prices that we can offer.
However, instead of operating under the Play
Co. Toys name this will be a complete redesign
of our Toys Why Pay Retail.com site. This site
will reopen the second week of December.
This new site will be so completely different from the old site that only the name will
remain the same! By operating under this name we will be able to offer our
customers much lower pricing than possible under the Play Co. name. This will also
avoid any confusion our customers might have between the brick and mortar Play
Co. stores and the Internet store regarding product selection and pricing concerns.

I guess what they are saying is that if the site was called playco.com, then they would have to have the same price for toys as their stores?

ATMS …TA ATMS looks quite interesting…it established a 5 month resistance at 2.4 or so…from July, to Oct. to mid and late Nov….it moved off a double bottom in aug/sept with enough strength to test resistance (but failed)…there was some weak resistance at 2.18…ON 11/24, another test of resistance occurred on high volume, but failed HOWEVER, the next few days offered more volume and a major resistance break on 11/30, (which also broke a long term downward trend from Jan) the next three days showed a retest of resistance and could not break it. Friday on rather light volume, support was broken intraday, yet finished at support, with a doji star formation. Furthermore, the breakout came from an ascending triangle at what is considered to be the "right place". In addition, some would suggest that ATMS just completed a cup and handle pattern. Technically ATMS, is sending a lot of positive signals

The downside would be around 2.31 or so (the 20day trendline) while the upside is at least to 3.12 but more likely more as the fundamentals get better.. Some weakness is evident in the very short term

So, I entered (again)

Interesting poll on broadband...I have mentioned before, given the choice, I would go with xDSL...

maccentral.com =

I'm still waiting to see who AOL teams up with in the xDSL sector...I'm leaning towards the SBC/NPNT connection...
