ROCK and Thread, FYI, Metro Group is one of the very biggest, if not the biggest retailing group in Germany and Europe. Kind of the European equivalent to Wal-Mart. I live in Zurich, Switzerland. As for MPRS, as much as I'd like to see some positive in their EPS announcement, I cannot find any: equity down to $2.4m with another big loss pre-announced for 03/98... Isn't the brain drain a factor: Sid Meier, Brian ... and the third guy (Jeff... ?) all gone and having founded their own company Firaxis? I see that they have 5 different development studios: CA, TX, NC, MD and England. That's rather a lot to oversee for such a small company. I don't have a position in MPRS. I considered going long since discovering the insiders purchases in December, but now I guess I stay out. I used to like Sid Meier's games enormously. $15m revenue in the quarter leading up to X-mas is very bad, IMO. OK, they have new games in the pipeline, but I just don't know. Thomas

off topic Rock!!! Good to see you again. I have really missed you on Mirc. Have you peoplemarked, and was checking my book marks, and saw your postings. Not back till Mid March, huh, I can wait. I have lots of patience. You can find me in #daytraders, we had fun and made a great team for awhile :o) Have played TEAM once, since you have been gone, and just a few days back bought one of our favs, UCMP at 6.50. Looking forward to seeing you again in March, zSue
