"... just find it kind of puzzling." or hardened water Dave, "...how people will... and think nothing of it..." Imagine yourself living far north into Canada, middle of the summer, middle of the day with the sun shining bright as you watch yesterday's made icicle that was created with the slow melting snow from your home's roof as it met the unwarmed air as the sun set. This tapering spike of ice can be observed, knowing that it onced flowed like liquid water, but now hard, and if held in hand and dropped, break'able, and we all "... and think nothing of it..." But take that spike of ice and imagine it elsewhere, a place where it looks the same, but now it's up-side-down, spike pointing towards the sky, opposite than when as an icicle and pointed towards another call'ing, heard as the forces of E.Charter's gravity. But you see the same object, this spear by water hardened, not like metal treated with heat, but with freezing cold. That tapering spike of ice pointing downwards, "... and think nothing of it..." but when it points towards the sky while seemingly balanced on top of the Arctic Ocean's surface, we know that there is more to it, under the surface, such that if one did do the same "... and think nothing of it..." then one would travel without the knowledge of what exist, under surface, stuff not showned, but felt, especially if you is a ship without a double hull. (or) "...how people will... and think nothing of it..." Hidden away from your view, lots and lots of stuff, and sometimes, more often than knowned, many folks think of themselves, view themselves, as an up-side-down icicle floating on a dark surface, not knowing whats under the surface. d:oug

Dave, I presented a similar option to the players on Prodigy a few years back and got the same response - people want the games free same as they want free charts, etc. I think it is more the bother and change of routine than the physical dollars. If you do it the same, then the changes I would suggest are to allow do it only for 1 month and allow 2 stocks of our own choice as opposed to the PE requirement like last time where I had to find a stock I really knew nothing about. It went up 50% for about 3 weeks then ended down about 40%. Bruce
