Craig, While I agree with the premise that a combined order in the amount of $557,000 is relatively insignificant in pure dollar terms, I fail to understand why such companies would throw their money away on a "totally useless" product. If you were an exec in either company (TU or Media One), would you have approved this purchase? I didn't think so. Which begs the question...so why did they? I don't know about you, but I try not to spend money on worthless junk, no matter the accompanying incentives, coupons, etc. Let's say that $557,000 of these corporate funds is equivalent to $100 out of your pocket (on a good trading day!). How eager are you to throw away $100? You must take the management of these two companies for fools. Have a nice day, Ron
