HEY COMMANDER, I CALLED FOR MINE TWO WEEKS AGO! I posted way back there somewhere that I would let you know what they look like when I get'em. They told me it takes 4-6 weeks to get them. Of course, I have added a bunch since them, so I will call for the rest tomorrow. You're right, the MM's don't have JACK and they're not about to borrow mine! I am willing to risk my investment on Digitcom, but not to any shorters making phantom shares. I paid good money for'em, and I want'em!
