My problems is that I have a rather small stomach and not very decisive. Funny, my problem is that my stomach is too large and I'm too stubborn. Had I spent the last six months dieting and working out instead of shorting 'net stocks, I'd be both healthier and wealthier. Bob

By the way, I was rejected about 10 mins ago for 200 raw shares to short at $95 1/2. Jan, May I ask which firm? Glenn

I do not recall if this part of the 10Q was posted. However, all servers in the same building and inadequate insurance for business loss is very risky! Substantially all of the Company's computer and communications hardware is located at a single leased facility in Seattle, Washington. The Company's systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, earthquake and similar events. The Company does not currently have redundant systems or a formal disaster recovery plan and does not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate it for losses that may occur. Despite the implementation of network security measures by the Company, its servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data or the inability to accept and fulfill customer orders. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
