Fred: "Pagers Are Dinosaurs....Hello DC!,"... but they are cheaper to use.

Fred: Pagenet is doing great! Everyone has a pager along with their cellular phone. Now with digital paging and automated answer messages built into the cell service, the usage costs are down. There is no need to incur wireless charges, you got the message per your pager, no need to reply.

Change of subject.

Awhile back I read that market makers were on the way out of Nasdaq, the computer bid and sell would handle the tasks. This was supposed to be implemented on a gradual basis and eliminate the price fixes. Do you have any inside knowledge as to the progress of this transformation.

Thanks

Frederick

the one-way mode forces each side to focus in on what really is important.

Good try. <g> The reality is that it stinks. It takes a while for people to get used to it. In one to one communication, it's a clear negative.
