No problem Carl... and welcome to this thread. My relationship to the company is fortuitous. I live close enough to visit the company's headquarters and have lunch with its president; who's a cordial and rather intelligent fellow. I can always just phone or e-mail the company, as can you, to find out what's going on. Perhaps I've more privity than most but I doubt it. Other than that, I'm just another investor. And you? Your friend, Marty

And now, for a little more about the company. As already said, the company's quarterly is due this month. It's going to be quite a positive report. Those who read the quarterly will wonder why MPA's stock is not valued closer to a dollar than a dime. Anyhow, MPA already comprises a viable business that's undervalued. Part of the company's "business" right now is to make that known at the very least. The company, like many others in the gaming business, is expanding its business via the World Wide Web. It's also limited by the Web. MPA can only develop and expand along with it. As of now, one can't see much. Although, one can see a lot more on the Web than one could 24 or even 12 months ago. In the near future, we will see MUCH more. MPA will enjoy a lucrative venture in Net commerce and gaming. This won't come about overnight. This is a nascent business. MPA is building the necessary foundations and positioning itself for growth and profit. The company's goals are realistic, not hype. The company is realistic about the time and effort it will take it to realize its goals - steady as she goes and step by step, by hard work and a focus that is unique to the company. This is all there at the company in the way of good management and people who plan on seeing things through. Sincerely Marty
