Whoa! You're in SE San Diego harbor? Let's see, San Diego is in the west so that means you're staying near the convention center. Sell a few shares of stock (any will do) and spend the buck$ at Horton Plaza - or anywhere in SD will do just fine. The locals will thank you. I laugh at all the moaning and groaning about NXTL. Why? Because if you go to other wireless telco boards you see the same comments about each company. Reality is that no digital wireless telco is anywhere near completing its system and growing pains cause multiple problems which result in complaints, angry customers and the resultant churn. Arnie P.S. Welcome to San Diego and don't forget to spend your money.

Al: I am looking it as a barometer for two very important reasons. First, as a leveraged company that must service its debt in good and in bad times, this companies carries a higher degree of risk. Because of this risk, any real or implied threat of a slowdown is reflected in a leveraged company prior to the general market. Second, nextel is leveraged to the building industry. Any downturn in this sector will be immediately reflected in nextel's revenue stream. A combination of these factors is an explanation for nextels inability to regain but a small portion of its loss from 34 to 15. It is also a leading indicator of the overall health of the economy. Expansions rarely continue if the building industry declines. Ken
