Jason, A funny (I'll keep it short...) story. I'm looking to switch Mom to a new LD carrier, so I call around looking for rates. She's with ATT now, so I give them "their shot" at keeping her business. They tell me about their $6.00 monthly fee plan, and 7 cents a minute, or their $2.00 monthly fee plan, and 15 cents a minute...yada, yada, yada. I asked for a NO MONTHLY FEE PLAN, and they don't have one. Bye Bye ATT. When I told the very nice ATT person on the phone about Q and that I was moving there because they have a NO MONTHLY FEE PLANS at 9 cent, and lower cost plans (COUNTDOWN PLAN), she said that she would rush that information to the guys at ATT home office so they could evaluate it, because ATT thinks they're competitive now. I laughed and said that I moved to the same plan over a year ago, and the ATT rep 1 year ago said the same thing! Funny...ATT is hemorraging LD customers and still has yet to match that plan. I said that she shouldn't rush off and tell them, because someone said the same thing to me over 1 year ago. Mom's now on Q. Will save a small fortune, and I'm happy. Steve

Just back from vacation, looks like you all had a busy week keeping up with our Q. 40+ posts in one week, usually that is a months worth...better yet new posters and the stock is up! Isn't making money amazing? Not to worry about the BearStearns downgrade, they just got caught off guard (maybe a little short) and need to refill the basket at a good price before we really go up, downgrades are a quick fix to mgmt. oversight. Next week should prove interesting and a better forecast through the rest of summer where Q will go. I look for Joe to do something "aggressive" near term, the guy feeds on deals and news. §Rob
