>>It is highly unlikely they [Sony and Fuji] were up because of the HiFD announcement.<< Gottfried - I'm sure you're right. Old what's-his-name lives in a pretty funny world. Considering Sony's size, even if HiFD is an enormous hit and becomes a new standard overnight, the revenues that it generates would only be a tiny incremental increase. I doubt that this would be enough to move their stock. On the other hand, news releases such as today's about HiFD have caused IOM to dip in the past. We'll see. - Allen
