I may be wrong because I don't check every day, but it appears that much more of the site is active. By the way when I spoke to Robert Gordons office Monday, there was significant anger over the "leaking" of the site address in-as-much as it was/is not open for business. The whole site thing was not meant to go public. Otherwise they would have placed an announcement page in its place. The general feeling in St. Petersburg was not one of happiness over this issue. They gave me the feeling that this leak hurt the company and the shareholders. When I discussed the issue with Mark in NY at IR it was made clear to me that if they could find out who did this and they were an employee heads would roll. Meanwhile it appears that we are within sneezing distance for full site opening as promised. However, I'm still curious as to where the dough will come from for the blitz. I'm optimistic in-as-much as there will be all too many free* pr's available* because of the market sector that they are in and the their pricing advantage and most of all... their gimmick, *The Card.* Now don't get me wrong, by gimmick I certainly don't mean to trivialize its importance. With funerals or suits it probably has little import. However, with CD's, it's a blockbuster of an idea. Especially when you consider one of the larger market segments. Highly frequent sales, to an emotionally charged/disturbed market, (well, what would you call a teenager,) that brags about how good a deal they got to all their friends. Good news moves with the rapidity of fire with gasoline with these marketing elements. I would speculate the other market segments will piggyback from this one but will require the bigger PR bucks. Some of which will probably be generated from the early income generated by *The Card* sold to the younger market. This is a great little business and I wish I thought of it first. After all, you don't really need much capital for cybercommerce, in-as-much as you've *already* been paid for all the product you need *before* you buy it. Rich
