Yes, but something is going on-- I don't think all the YAHOO subscribers decided to buy at 11:04. It really was as if someone opened a valve.

I got a e-mail from Freedom Call this morning. See the following. Also, there was a list on the CC: that included hamquist, aurtherandersen, merrilcorp and more. I would guess this helped the share price. Hello again, Tomorrow, July 23, 1998, General Magic will make a public annoucement regarding Portico's resellers and pricing information. This is a sign that the July 30th roll-out date is fast approaching and we here at FreedomCall are very excited. Since this information is not yet in the public domain, we cannot give you the full details. However, as a FreedomCall customer, we try to keep you ahead of the curve. We would like for you to look for the anouncement into tomorrow's newspaper and to start thinking about which pricing plan you would like. If you're signed up on our waiting list, we will be contacting you as soon as General Magic is ready to take orders. If not, please feel free to visit our web site at www.freedomcall.com <http://www.freedomcall.com> for more information and the non-committal waiting list. If you have any questions please contact us via e-mail: info@freedomcall.com <mailto:info@freedomcall.com> or call us toll free: 1-800-770-0622. The following should be included in tomorrow's anouncement: "'We expect the Portico service to be one of our best sellers," said Michael Dotterer, president of FreedomCall in Oakland, California, one of the resellers that will make Portico available commercially. "General Magic's Portico service allows the mobile professional to access all of their information from one place, and goes beyond that to empower the user to immediately act on the information. From the volume of inquiries we've received so far, we believe Portico will be in high demand."' "There are five standard plans from which to choose, with monthly service charges from $19.95 to $149.95 a month. Plans include from 60 to 1,300 bundled minutes, with additional minutes ranging from $.15 per minute to $.20 per minute, depending on the plan. The activation and set up fee is an initial $50 for all plans." Thanks again and we look forward to servicing you.
