Bruce; I get loads of anecdotal information from J. Coupe, manager of a local hip interactive outfit called Microplay. He mentioned this morning that 3DO's Army Men Advance was sold out at every location in the area. We may have a 'hit' on our hands. Today's action proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there's a shake down taking place and all on low volume. I'm tempted to buy a tiny bit more at this level, but that could blow my summer budget. All the best, David P. O'Connor

Bought a 30% position at 5.10, sold my July5 puts at 0.40 (basis 0.20) and rebought a 40% position of the July 5 calls (that I sold at $2.00) at 0.30. If it doesn't plummet through $4.00 (it could if the 10K is finally getting read), I'll fill try to fill out my positions in the low 4's.

Bruce, Where in heaven's name did GoDai Elemental Force come from? It makes you wonder how many other surprises Hawkins has up his sleeve. I'll bet that Sony played a role in the development of this new game. It also wouldn't surprise me to see Sony eventually take an equity stake in 3DO. On a percentage basis, Hawkins and company have more titles destined for the PlayStation 2 than any other video game maker. As the XBox looms larger, Sony can ill afford to see a major U.S. based ally go belly up. What do you think of my early morning ramblings? I need a coffee!! Dave O'C
