Congrats on closing. I'm still in, but worried. I can't believe ZD is giving us a feed requiring ISDN. That's so stupid! We'd better have a talk to them. I wonder who is in charge of this over there. Anyone know? Linda

Well, there was no note that ISDN was needed so I'm not sure how better prepared one could've been. Disappointing. But all these glitches are being worked out, bit by bit. I should have a cable modem within a month, for example. As for the PSX-emulation news, the Playstation skews to an older demographic than the Nintendo 64. While the N64 has better graphic, the Playstation has better sound and much longer games. (More levels.) And as has been pointed out, is more popular than the N64, partly due to cd games being cheaper than the cartridges on the N64. But Apple has got to bundle the thing with the iMac in order for it to be a big deal. Note that the Playstation does have a four-player mode, it is just that the software companies haven't taken advantage. The first real four-player game for the PSX, Shao Lin, is coming in a month or two from THQ. (THQI, a great, great stock.) I'd think Sony could get behind this, especially since the PSX is aging and ready to be replaced. Ah, AAPL back over 43 again. Should continue to have a good week. Marc
