Phillip, Thanks for providing the detail. I appreciate it. I still may begin buying again if we move below 6-1/2 tomorrow. The volume has been fairly light this last week or so which gives me a little confidence in the face of the continued decline from recent highs. Regards - Dale

Bought 25K shares at the open at 6 and 5/8 this morning. Will hold for a move to the nines or possibly double digits.

Olympus reveals their new storage for Digicams! --And its NOT Iomega's Flop! It's 32MB Olympus-branded Smartmedia! steves-digicams.com All the new digicams are being rolled out and rumors are leaking aplenty, and NO DIGITAL CAMERAS ARE USING FLOP! This means Agfa as well. Looks like all the digital camera makers tried Flop! and didn't think too highly of it. Perhaps the threat of the inevitable avalanche of costly warranty repairs was too much for them to bear. After all, if a digital camera with a Flop! built-in suffers from the well-documented Click of Death, the WHOLE CAMERA must be returned for repair. The whole camera need not be returned if a Flashcard were to somehow fail. Just pop it out and replace. Same thing with IBM's TinyDrive. It too can be popped out in its entirety, leaving the camera still functioning. Flop! is a bulky, convoluted mess in comparison to any of these other storage solutions. Also, the new model Palm Pilots are rumored to be EXTREMELY thin, and Iomega's Flop! drive isn't even being considered anymore, as it would use way too much battery power.
