Griz, "I expect COMS will flop around like this until a week or so before the IPO then we should see some nice action." I don't see that much flopping around time. I bought more yesterday because I don't think we're the lone rangers in the smarts department. The only risk in this no brainer is that COMS doesn't legally have to distribute share 1 of the 80%. Not an appealing option but at least the Palm value would still be reflected in the COMS price. (I feel it would be at a diminished ratio, however). My math comes up with COMS hitting 60 with the possibility of going higher stronger than a lower possibility. My talk with investment pro's indicates most are aware of this and the buying should start very soon. Glad others didn't see the ratio thing as a big deal. I was too afraid of looking foolish to ask why some thought it was. With the exception of the occasional over-acrimonious disagreements, I find this is a highly informative forum. Thank you all for it and may we also all become a bit richer for it come February. Bill
