Ed: There's no hope of finding out the real status of the VLT's from anyone here. That will come only from G.Z. All we know is that 105 machines have been in V-land for some time and that an announcement saying that at least some of them are on line can come at any time from NorAm. My impression is that we are at a point where a lot of infrastructure is being put in place, and getting these first machines going, along with everything else that is required, is quite a task. Remember that each machine is hooked up to a phone line and furthur connected to a central polling office for accounting purposes. Once we see signs that the first machines are up and running, we might regard this as a big indication that we are well on our way. I expect normal bugs and surprises to pop up, but I sense we are near. Anyway, just sitting back and looking for the news. Monday should be very interesting in the market. I expect a flood of mergers, acquisitions and general company news. I'm also looking for several retail companies to give us some bad news. A lot of store chains out there were just hanging on, hoping to make it thru XMAS. I just see a flood of news tomorrow. Well, continued good luck to all. dave
