Hey Pat! My isp email is down right now, and I couldn't wait to tell you...so, here goes: I just ordered my new computer system!! Yeah!! Yippee!! I knew that the Pentium II 300 only gave maybe 8% increase in performance over the 266, but I just had to have it anyway. Bigger is always better, right?? <ggg> Or is that faster?? Yes, I'm bragging. Sorry. I needed a lift. (Don't suggest a plastic surgeon. And, Jeffers better not make any comments, either.) xoxo, V. (Computing at warp speed from henceforth!)

AV -- I said it was hysterical, didn't I ??? If it was a 10:1 split it makes sense to increase the shares to 1 zillion. But to do a reverse split 1:10 and then increase the number of shares is just too side splitting hilarious. Get a load of the par value for the stock. You might need a certificate for 100,000 shares for a penny par value. With the reverse split, does it mean you need 1,000,000 shares to get penny par value??? Jeff-Too late. The Fort Collins store was re-opened at the end of November just in time to close for the season. Go figure!!!! Now you have to wait for Spring to get a Dilly Bar (isn't that what Rachel likes from you?) Scott - because it is going to split, I am taking my chances by holding onto RAIN until after the split. I still think this was a severe over reaction. Andrew
