Just some thoughts on DIMD. I think many bought this stock hoping that huge sales of the Rio would increase profitability. That sounds reasonable and it may be happening. Others mentioned that AOL could be interested in the shotgun concept. This is an interesting idea. AOL has a heck of a lot of customers in areas that will not get high speed access to the internet years from now. But I think there is another interesting possibility. A lot of money is being made out of advertising in the net. AOL could make a deal with music producers to include sound bites with ads in music MP3 files. Or alternatively, news and other material could be distributed in this way. You take the subway with your Rio and listen to the news you downloaded from AOL overnight, including ads. Of course, the download would be selective: you choose the areas you are interested in (sports, local to your town, international, etc.) Does this make sense?

DIMD has been there at $ 12 before. It will get there in a few days with this kind of momentum. The sub $ 1000 PC market is doing quite well all around the world and DIMD gets a small piece of this pie - a growing piece though!
