Blankmind See the post I just put up. In a word "no". Although I will bet top dollar that 4th qtr is better than $0.02 eps. Word slipped out that 4th qtr earnings will beat the estimates of the reports by Stevens and First London. Qtrs 2,3 & 4 this year are the ones to watch. Mark

More from the SB2 (prospectus): ================================================================= State-of-the-Art Technology The Company uses state-of-the-art computer technology available to access all the major U.S. and international air carriers' routes and fares. Each of the Company's reservation agents operates a SABRE computer terminal and headset. The Company has significantly customized the Turbo SABRE system specifically for the Company's specific purposes and uses. As a result, the Company's reservation agents have fewer procedures to master and therefore are trained and become proficient on the Company's reservation system more quickly, thus incurring lower training expenses. In addition, the skills learned by thereservation agents on the Company's Turbo SABRE system are not transferable to other travel agencies, resulting in lower reservation agent turnover. ================================================================== No mention an interactive website here because they hadn't developed this idea when the prospectus was filed. BTW - Constance Norris wrote the customized version of TurboSABRE that they use. Mark
