David, when I called this morning, I was told by IR that the conference call would only be open to institutional investors. How did you get on line. Could you go into the conference call a little more in depth or tell us whether or not we can hear any replay?

Well, David, there is no doubt now that this stock/company is a dog. Sigh. Maybe in the future it will turn around but it's currently a dog, dropping 65% from it's high. Sigh. Oh, well, live and learn. I'm out of here with a sell at the market open. Good luck to all who stay around. Michael

David, Yesterday's announcement didn't do anything for damage control. Bottom fishing, anyone??? Allan

David, Concerning book value at $5.29, how much of that represents intangibles? The problem with assuming a high book value is that the subsequent write-offs of intangibles erode it away. What is tangible book value for the company at this point? I'm also a bit concerned about the inability to forecast for the rest of the year. It sounds a bit like, "This is such a sprawling conglomerate, nobody here knows for sure what's going on. We think it's high time we start checking it out." It just doesn't inspire confidence that management has a good grip on the reins. Baird
