LOL! I would love to have tuna's 78 degrees right now or even your 40. Right now it is 21 degrees - with wind chill factor - 11! I guess winter has finally arrived. Enjoy the "tropics" Bill

FMDAY up, Futuremedia Plc Revises Potential Revenue Upwards Wednesday December 3, 6:08 am ET Company Confirms Orders From Royal Mail "Learning for All(TM)" Contract Now Stand at US$ 27.1 Million (GBP 16.0 Million) BRIGHTON, ENGLAND--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 3, 2003 -- E-Learning solutions provider Futuremedia Plc (NasdaqNM:FMDAY - News) today announced that it has received US$27.1 million (GBP16.0 million) in orders since the launch in early November of its Learning For All™ programme for Royal Mail employees. ADVERTISEMENT When the Company gave an update on the Royal Mail contract on November 24, 2003, it estimated that the potential revenue from the contract would be in the range of US$12.0 million (GBP 7.5 million) to US$15.0 million (GBP 9.4 million) over three years. The Company is now revising its estimate upwards, to be in the range of US$32 million (GBP20 million) to US$35 million (GBP22 million) for the current promotional campaign ending on the December 23, 2003. The Company's Learning For All™ contract with Royal Mail is for a term of three years. The Company plans to promote the programme through a total of six campaigns. While the uptake in this initial promotional campaign represents a positive indicator with respect to the overall success of the three-year programme, the Company expects the level of uptake in future promotional campaigns to be lower. The Company's ability to launch future promotions is subject to the terms of the contract and will depend on, among other factors, the success of the programme. The success of any future promotions will in turn depend on, among other factors, the future level of uptake of the programme by Royal Mail employees. At this time the Company cannot give any assurances or guarantees about the likelihood of there being future promotional campaigns, the future success of the such campaigns, or the future financial impact of the full contract on the Company. "It is very gratifying to see that the initial uptake of the Learning For All™ programme by Royal Mail employees has again exceeded our expectations. When we originally announced the contract, we were conservative about our expectations because the success of the programme is dependent on acceptance by individual Royal Mail employees and we could not be sure about how they would react," said Mats Johansson, CEO of Futuremedia. "This further increases the likelihood that other large organisations and companies will see the success of Royal Mail's Learning For All™ as a great example of how to give incentives to staff by extending their e-learning capabilities, and we hope, thereby prompting them to implement Learning For All™ programmes as well."

Gees you were up late last night Jim! I know I've got retirement on the brain....and Oklahoma too because I miss the old friends there after 14 years in Shawnee. It would be fun to be there to watch the National Championship game with Oklahoma and USC or LSU, but we'll be in California for the wife's sister's wedding....hope I don't actually miss the game!!! Sonic is okay I guess, but we like it more for the limeades and cherry limeades that weren't available at most hamburger places. Your weather reminds me of the Oklahoma winters though a bit colder in Oklahoma...lots of rain throughout the year, which I didn't care for. Love the sun here but the hot summers drag...guess I'm just hard to please. I pretty much day traded full-time for 5 1/2 of the last 6 1/2 years until some heart problems came up just over a year ago. I'm pretty sure it was in a large part due to sitting in front of the computer for 60 or more hours a week and the stress that accompanied the 3 years of agony. To be safe Jim, I hope you find time for some exercise here and there, because the lack thereof was likely a major contributor to my heart problems too. Hope all goes well today for you and the great folks here!! Will try to check in later this evening...tuna
