<<My "source" inside the company says....>> It is commendable for you and OC to risk your SI membership, (not to mention fines and imprisonment) to post nonpublic information for the greater good of the thread. I will sell my shares at the open on Monday and put all the profits into put options. I wonder if there is some angle whereby we could all invest in the companies which actually manufacture fax paper and toner sales. AMZN will probably succeed in driving up sales of this stuff, albeit at a loss. ;>) Tom
