Hi Dale, Jeff, Richard, all

It's been waaay too long. Lots more re. my SCH saga that I'll spare you for now. Suffice to say I am now a member of Richard's team at DIR. Some +'s and -'s. Biggest plus is that I am getting good fills and consistently quicker confirm info. than at SCH. No crashes so far. Biggest neg. is that the site is rather clunky in terms of trying to bring info to bear quickly for making trade decisions--esp changes (although the need for changes has been less because of the quick fills. On the whole, I'll take fill reliability.

Another pick--SPYG. Knocking at its alltime high, upbeat prospects, in the right market (wireless) and interesting news today.

"CHICAGO, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Airline passengers whose planes are delayed may soon be able to notify family, friends
or their hotel from 35,000 feet in the air via e-mail without a laptop.

Internet technology company Spyglass Inc. (NasdaqNM:SPYG - news) said on Wednesday it agreed to upgrade the
technology behind Rockwell Collins Inc.'s in-flight entertainment system and add Internet capabilities.

The redesigned Total Entertainment System would allow Rockwell's airline customers, such as American Airlines
(NYSE:AMR - news), Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:DAL - news), and British Airways Plc. (quote from Yahoo! UK &
Ireland: BAY.L), to offer their passengers features including audio-on-demand, video-on-demand, and multiplayer
games.

Spyglass technology would let content providers develop applications in HTML, an industry standard programming
language for the Internet, Spyglass Vice President of Interactive Television Anup Murarka told Reuters.

``(Through a server installed in the planes), passengers can have all the benefits of the Web,' said Murarka. ``There is
all the communication that can happen inside the plane from seat to seat...and communication between the plane and
the rest of the world.'

Murarka said the company is licensing its HTML engine, graphics library, and Web server to Rockwell. Murarka did
not have details about when the airlines would upgrade their TES systems.

Spyglass, which provides strategic consulting services and technology to customers including Microsoft Corp.
(NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) and Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - news), specializes in integrating Internet technology
into non-PC devices such as set-top boxes and cell phones.

Shares of Spyglass closed off 1/4 at 28-3/8 on Nasdaq on Tuesday.

Rockwell Collins is a unit of Milwaukee, Wis.-based Rockwell International Inc. (NYSE:ROK - news), an electronics
and communications equipment manufacturer."

I bought a bunch today.

Another stock that looks like it's ready for a momo tear is BLSW. Went up big today. I didn't get my fill at end of day, but it looks ripe for a run (That one's for you Dale <<ggg>>). Anyway your board has been great. Too bad my difficulties w/ SCH has kept me from taking full advantage, but I'm back on track.

Jim

PS--OT--I want to hear more re. the fishing Bill. I was envious re. the tuna etc. I'm heading to Cozumel this weekend. Hope to get in a little bone-fishing between dives and sun-soaking.
