The symbol is never cast in stone until the day of the IPO, but that's the probable symbol I saw on the "red herring". You know how these servers are....until the stock opens there won't be any way of calling it up. I have it on one of my screens and a market order for 5,000 on the open. Hope I don't get skunked this time like I did with Snapple. At least with Snapple I was allotted more than 200 shares. And don't remind me about Boston Chicken. Tried to wait for that one to come back down to the opening price. Big mistake.

Kevin, This will be the Moonshot to end all Moonshots! I've never seen a ramp-up like the ramp-up that is ramping-up over at FBN. This thing is in process as we speak! I've been speaking about this thing VERY QUIETLY up until today. Some "friends" of mine tipped me off to this company during the summer of '96 and I've been speaking to the management on and off. Word has it that a HUGE BUYER is involved. Also, have you checked out the CANADIAN connection. Their recent acquisition of Rog‚t was a masterstroke. The company's past work in the Canadian Defense sector should put them in line for some serious government work. According to the prospectus, this will spill over into the U.K./France (Quebec government connections), then all of Europe (additional possibilities for Euro conversion), and (through the French) the as-yet-untapped AFRICAN Y2K MARKET. Egypt is meant to be in serious trouble (no light shows at the Pyramids Jan. 1, 2000?) along with Zambia, the Sudan, Senegal, and even South Africa (apparently Clinton raised the subject with Mandela during his visit). Additionally, there brilliant idea to license the Y2K accessories line for retailing will be generating revenue back-dating to last quarter. This management team is first rate! Ready for takeoff!!
