If I like it I will buy one of your CD's gladly. Somewhat OT, I bought one of Zeev's CD's. I liked it. The music is a blend of folk and new age rock. I gave it to my son, who really likes it (he's 11 and really into that stuff). Jay

Steve, In every business I have run before, I would not consider a new product launch unless I could "see" in the planning stages getting a gross margin of 66% (reality later always cut this somewhat<G>). I am working with some outfits that sell via informecials and they demand gross margins in excess of 80% (cost of producing informecials and air time is high). I would guess that in a business with very high promotional costs like music publishing, they would need gross margins that are similar. My point, however, was to point to our friendly boaster that he will continue to pirate music from whatever sources are available is that, if he is long SNDK, then he is shooting himself in the foot, because SNDK's success depends on the principle that intellectual property is valuable and should be paid for, and music is intellectual property. As for my Son's CD, I think that a "snafu" eradicated his I-net sample, but you can reach him at prechorus@hotmail.com His "group" (just him and his guitar on this CD) goes by the name "Echo". If you want more info, just PM me, since I do not think that more than the above fits this thread. Zeev
