If you thought I had bitched about all the people leaving Ion Storm, and the product delays, you should have been in my mind when I learned that John Romero had been shot in the head- dead- last night. I refrained from posting until verification could be...verified :) The good news, is that the John Romero that was killed in TX was incorrectly ID'd (thats eye-deed, not Id-ed). It was A John Romero, not Our John Romero. Sorry for his family, of course, wherever they are, but I am also pleased to know it isn't our John... Great market, eh. It is a VERY good thing I don't own a gun... :) jeff

Grenades, barbed wire and a P/E ratio of 8. If we strip away EIDSY's equity position against its debt and subtract cash reserves now close to $75 million, the company has a price tag of $85 million. Or it's trading at $5 a share if you strip away the cash. Last quarter alone EIDOS posted revenues of $55 million (34.2 million pounds) compared to $37 million in 1997. And that's just one quarter. EIDOS at some point should start to build a base if the broader market cooperates. If you look at the company's price history, it collapsed exactly a year ago and bottomed. Look what happened in the subsequent 6 months. Granted the market conditions are different now but I feel EIDOS is poised for much stronger earnings performance as we shall see next week compared to a year ago. I just hope the broader market finds its footing in the weeks ahead and stabilizes a bit. Bleeker
