Dave, that's a good summary of the press release. I really like the selling of the "classic" games myself. The investor info is a nice bonus. What a morning. Wade, you should've gotten up for it. Btw, how are the hamburgers at Chez Panisse? I can't believe that the press releases have been appearing right out of our short-pressuring playbook. Saving this one for today was perfect. It might be quiet for the next 1.5 trading days and then a move up past $30 on Monday with the rousing weekend channel checks and the release of the WCW PC game. You know, I think everyone in the know was pretty pumped in advance about Rugrats. And we've had posters wanting a press release about the online store for a while. But there has been very little message board enthusiasm for WCW Nitro on the PC. I think this is the sleeper title of the quarter and am really looking forward to seeing what kinds of volumes this thing ships in. The earliest channel checks for Rugrats show the specialty stores getting in about ten copies and selling 6-10 in the first day. Pretty good and will get better once the Christmas rush starts. Fwiw, James Cramer's kids loved the Rugrats movie. I had my Datek Express Server all set up to sell the shares I bought yesterday at 27 15/16 and when I hit the button I got a message that the server was down. Crazy. By the time I got a regular order sent in, the price was higher. Worked for me. I wish Bleeker was in on this fun. Rugrats Revenge, Marc
