Ignacio: So you are very sure that 20 million is out of the question (you did say that the mere mention of the number made you LOL) I think the thing that cracked me up was the 43 million in earnings thing you had going for a little while. $20 million in BT sales is very aggressive but if that's what you want to go with that's fine by me. well then say whoever is wrong promises to stop promulgating his opinions on the internet for 10 years. That's right disappear from the boards under any name for that long if DR makes 20 million in sales. OK, let me see if I've got this. A wager that RACE can/can't do $20 million in net Be There! sales over the next 12 months (we'll say calender '98 if it's OK with you, it gives you more time) with the loser banished to Internet purgatory for 10 years (From what Vick tells Marshall via e-mail Internet purgatory ain't a bad place). Hmmmmm, sounds like a bet I'd want to take. By Internet I'll assume we're talking message boards and newsgroups. (If I lose I still want to be able to use my e-mail.) Take it! I think I will as long as we can agree on terms. What do you fear? The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. I will do the same if I am wrong. Well, that's the part that would make it a bet now wouldn't it? I await your answer. You have it. Guess we won't know who has won the bet until late January, early February '99. Man, that's a long time for you folks to have to put up with me. FWIW, I'll be surprised if I'm still short this stock much past the registration getting deemed effective on the converts (Jan/Feb '98) but I'll be sure to keep in touch. drakes353 PS - Between helpings of turkey and trimmings I hope to do a little work on my earnings model this weekend.
