Well, reality rears it's ugly head. Softbank flat today in Tokyo, no change. Equivalent to around $914/share US. In the predictions sweepstakes I feel like the conservative low man here with a measly quadruple expected for the full year to "only" 400,000 yen.<G>. I never thought that an expectation like that rendered in advance could be considered too low by almost everyone. I guess the Goldman Sachs and Lehman guys are even more conservative with only two baggers expected for the year. Still, I grant that 800K would not surprise me too much. So is it New Years on Maui? For the beginning of the real next Millenium in 2001 <G>. I suppose I can give up my usual gin and tonics for a few of those fruity things with coconut and pineapple...hold the little umbrellas please.

And then went down to the ship,
Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea, and
We set up mast and sail on that swart ship,
Bore sheep aboard her, and our bodies also
Heavy with weeping, and winds from sternward
Bore us out onward with bellying canvas,
Circe's this craft, the trim-coifed goddess.
Then sat we amidships, wind jamming the tiller,
Thus with stretched sail, we went over sea till day's end.
Sun to his slumber, shadows o'er all the ocean,
Came we then to the bounds of deepest water,
To the Kimmerian lands, and peopled cities
Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever
With glitter of sun-rays
Nor with stars stretched, nor looking back from heaven
Swartest night stretched over wretched men there.
The ocean flowing backward, came we then to the place
Aforesaid by Circe.
