Almost producktplacement? - Contact by Robert Zemeckis

Contact is a beatiful sci-fi film, in which a astronomer makes multivisionary

timetraveling to other galazy. Her headset is a audio/video recorder and it has has a memorychip.

Great story. Great film. Netscpae has heavy productplacement there with internet videoconferencing.

Michael - It's purely speculative, but did you get the feeling in your conversation with the good Dr. that such cautionary statements for future earnings would not be stated? I agree w/ Mike and others that it's ridiculous for us as small investors to believe in strong earnings - and then purchase shares in the stock - only to have the CEO make those statements.

It's so difficult as it is to find companies doing so well w/ performance - and then to forecast what potential statements management may say - it's ludicrous. He should focus on the companies performance, and let Wall Street judge for themselves.

Performance is key for future - not cautionary statements - Wall Street already understands their conservative forward looking nature.
