Rosario, I hope you're right about the good things to come. AGTI has struggled and suffered, as have we...the shareholders. We have paid our dues and now is the time for the proverbial rubber to meet the road. I'm no pollyanna, so I see that the road has some long, steep hills. For instance, there is a lot of speculation about an upcoming financing package, but I am not building unrealistic expectations nor expecting any miracles. If we all keep our expectations at a reasonable level, then we have a greater likelihood of having those expectations met. Here's one outta the blue. I have tried hard not to slam tgs59 in any uncivilized way, because he (or she) has responded in kind. I am not afraid of knowledge, be it good or bad, so long as it is honest knowledge. Tgs59 seems to possess a wealth of information about the bingo industry overall, and perhaps some of that industry information will be useful to all of us one day. My personal ambition is not to squelch tgs's right to post, but rather to gently guide the posts toward complete, sincere objectivity. I stated this from the beginning of my dialogue with tgs and I see no reason to change direction now. My only warning to all, albeit repetitively, is that every one of us who posts -- you, me, tgs59, everyone -- has our own personal reason for posting. If every reader is cognizant of that fact, then we can all draw better conclusions from each and every post. Also, never forget that this industry can, and will become enormous. IMHO, we have only seen small beginnings to future multibillion dollar revenue streams. Lots of $$$ to go around to all the serious players, including both AGTI and GMTC. We don't have to steal all of Texas away from GMTC (just a few little bites here and there will do wonders for my ego!!). End of sermon. :o) Best Regards, Father Hardrocker
