Ok Eric, Pending to short Qcom @455 this morning and missed. But got 200 Yhoo short at 345; just covered 100 at 339 and will repeat the process. I checked Yhoo's OIs throughly last night and I don't see a $350 option closing.

Eric- P.S. I just sunk my entire net worth into buying RHAT. I've deleted the operating systems off all the computers in my office and am currently installing Linux (is there a Mac version of Linux for my one Mac machine?). And as a sign my firm commitment to the new era, I'm changing my name to Linus. I actually have RedHat 6.0 installed on a 1Gb hard drive on my home PC, but I have not used that OS for some time. That version is way far from ready for prime time -- I'm pretty capable with basic problem solving, and did get my ethernet cards, CDROM, and @Home Internet srvice working. But wow there is a lot to learn and know. A Winmodem will never work (unless someone undertakes the herculean task of writing drivers for that class of Windows-designed modems). My soundcard had no drivers available for it. No USB support. Brutal. One reason I don't run it is that I know nothing about the security of the system on the network. I'm not afraid to use the OS on the Internet, but I don't leave it on all the time. My goal was to learn the OS, and I'm sure I could, but when one has work to do, one will use what one is familiar with. Randy
