Andrew, that's a good idea. I wonder if THQ is as qualified to distribute a semi-educational pc title like BROD's Rugrats as it is to distribute pc games? I wonder if there are some differences in those two markets that we don't realize. I also wonder which company will overpay for Myst and Riven. Marc

I listened to the conference call yesterday for TLC/BROD. They consider Rugrats an education title for the PC, and they are very excited about its potential. They have no plans to get rid of it. I agree that the entertainment part will rapidly shrink, relative to the education titles, or disappear altogether. Frankly, TLC could use the cash that could be raised through a sell-off of the Myst/Riven franchise. Let's see, companies that would overpay? GTIS and AKLM come to mind. Although I wouldn't be surprised if MSFT bought these titles. Todd
