Yea, we got some buying. Saw this from MarketWatch a couple of days ago and thought it interesting: ________________________ Asymetrix Learning (ASYM) (off 27 percent) Another recent IPO that has done nothing but fall since its debut. It's kind of surprising considering that the company was founded by Paul Allen and is competing in a market expected to grow exponentially in the coming years: Online learning. The company, which makes software to allow companies to distribute knowledge to their employees, has done nothing wrong to merit the price fall, but investors obviously aren't convinced of its business plan. Lessons: Paul Allen is not King Midas. Outlook: Mostly sunny, according to the analysts that follow the stock as well as International Data Corp., which sees the market for Web-based learning growing by 95 percent on a compound annual rate until 2002. _________________________ The thing that stands out is the amount they are expecting web-based learning to grow. Is HTSF going to be there? Hope so. Eric Edit: Link: cbs.marketwatch.com

Hi, Lee-- No, I didn't get any details on the financing plan. Just the broad strokes. Ben painted it as a favorable deal for HeartSoft, one that will be good for the company and the shareholder. What Ben was going to tell us, but apparently can't spare enough time to come here to post, is that a major educational materials publisher recently approached HeartSoft about acquiring the company. While Ben has rejected three previous offers, this one went a little differently. When Ben told the suitor what his terms were, they called back and merely asked, "Where do we go from here?" Ben said I'd recognize the suitor's name if I heard it. This might not work out, but if it does, this 35&#162 stock is gonna fly!! Cheers! Rick
