Sam, I realize the difference. However, your use of "expire worthless" is incorrect. They would "expire worth 2 million" or in SC case at least 25million. Also if you didn't "pick up the phone" I'm sure AOL would find someone who would and maybe put a small bonus in your paycheck (Oops, we are still supposed to be unsure that you work for AOL! (vbg)). After all AOL is in dire need of capital infusion. I have never yet heard of a case when stock option grants that were well in the money were just left to expire. In cases when the owner neglects them the company extends them or otherwise finds a way to deal with the situation rationally. The key point is that Case's options were not about to expire any time soon. Joe
