DD, Picked up some shares a few weeks ago when it broke north of 8. Kicking myself for not selling in the 9's. Got caught up w/RIO announcements etc. Not why I bought this, was meant to be a trade. Oh well, anyway, the Rio is not the only thing they have going for them. Was watching the superbowl and there were alot of commercials after introducing an ISP called Red. Supposed to be 17X faster than 56K & 8X faster than ISDN. Tokk me 45 minutes to get through on the toll free #. I asked the sales rep. if it was cable modem. She said no, it is a 1 meg modem. They come & install in your rig w/software. 200$ installation & 79$ per month. 1st. month free. She must have had caller I.D. because she said it is not available in N. J. until next month. Only in N.Y. now. She tried to rush me off the phone so I asked her what the name of the co. was & is it public. She said the name was PRISM & the co. is public. I asked & she said she was very busy & was supposed to go home hours ago but had to stay because of unexpected high demand. After hanging up I tried to get a symbol for Prism. There is none. Oh well, I tried. Next thing I know, Dimd announces they are supplying Nortel w/ a 1 meg. modem used by Prism. Think I'll stay in this one for a while. Also, IBM has lined up with top 5 recording companies. The co.'s w/ most of the top name artists, to try to crush MP3. Gonna be interesting. Jim
