First I've seen of Farrell. Seems like a nice guy. Haines redeemed himself a bit for me with his last question, giving Farrell a chance to discuss the business model. Seemed to me that Farrell stressed the right points: the long term and multi-platform nature of the license, the THQ strategy of making money on modest sales and running with the winners.

Did you all hear the word "Internet" several times from BF. All over all It's a great exposures for THQI. Go longs and squeeze shorts.

He did a very good job, although he was only on for 5 minutes or so. Jim Rogers asked what would happen if the Internet were to replace the game consoles. Farrell said that THQ has ALL electronic publishing rights for WWF: Internet, satellite, consoles, PC, hand-held, etc. THQ thinks the deal will be great for shareholders, as it is a long-term contract. He stressed that THQ has been consistently profitable because it runs the company like a business: manage the downside and run with the upside. He didn't get a chance to discuss Quest or Granstream, but he did say that THQ's plan is to build a portfolio of titles, rather than relying on the "hit" games. Todd
