Ya'know, I'll betcha there'll be a lot of long faces in Attica. I can just picture the entire Violent Offenders Wing was breathlessly waiting for the computerized locks to go >ka-chunk!< come 1/1/00. Foiled again, boys. We gotta wonder what sort of insurance Zitel had to offer. The liability angle kinda spins the head, doesn't it?

Hello (CR) Bill: Please put me in for results of <7.25M>. That's a simpleminded trailing twelve months earnings, <25M> divided by 4 less another million in reduced revenues. Sloppy and quick, but it might hit.... Best regards, m

By using the random number generation function in Excel I got the Zit somehow making a profit of $1.2 million. Please put this down as my estimate. The same function also told me that the directors of AVNT will spend exactly 4.066 years in jail and I will get married 13.627 times. Graeme

My Friend Bill: The predict the results contest, I assume that you are referring to Total Loss, including all one time charges. The Zit will probably be forced by law to charge off the entire cost of recent convertible bond. Also the Zit is carrying over $10 mil.(imho)in worthless assets. In order for our friend ,Jack King , to avoid the California Parole Board. He should start to take writedowns of these assets.(aka storage division). ps: notice how "nys contract" is just another "pump and dump" move by Zit. Not unlike the previous Lockhead/US Army announcement. The Zit surges and tops actually a few days before the release of the news. After the news is announced the Zit fades away. your friend, Michael
