Stew, I can't begin to tell you.. how much I appreciate the time you save me by posting these summaries. Every now and then when I"m in the mood of checking out a new spin-off idea I start with your list. The advantage is a)I don't have to go searching through the rubble myself and b) more importantly you conveintly give an estimated time frame for the spin which helps me focus on the ones coming up in the near future. Thanks tons! The only way I can try to pay you back is by sharing an idea if I have one. I always say, if you want to take you gotta give. Keep up the good work, please!!

What a great thread! Exactly what I've been looking for. Here are a few more that I didn't notice on the list. I do not buy parent stocks for a dividend, so many of these may or may not distribute shares of the spinoff as a dividend. regards Filed S1: AMPL==>XCCT BEAV==>ATSC beaerospace.com CD==>MOV CDN==>TLTY eoenabled.com cadence.com CNXT==>Spinco (TBA) newsalert.com redherring.com MRVC==>OPXS mrv.com newsalert.com NYE==>APBI nycomed-amersham.com TTN==>CYTA TTN==>SURE titan.com titan.com newsalert.com Announced Intentions for spinoff: DSS==>Snap Appliances biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com EFX==>CC Transaction Div Summer 01 thestreet.com biz.yahoo.com MACR==>Shockwave cbs.marketwatch.com Postponed IPOs: ADPT==>ROXI newsalert.com newsalert.com MPS==>IDEA SCAI==>EPRO newsalert.com newsalert.com
