Hot Air,

I will try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.

1) Why did the company change its symbol?
The name used to be RomTech. They felt that if they changed their name to eGames Inc, after launching the website, it would show their commitment to the industry and how they plan to be a major player in their niche (low-priced software). Its only a matter of time before people catch on to the awesome new name. IMO

2) Where can I find info on financial numbers?
The egames.com website is a great place.
Try: 209.49.231.110 This will give info straight from the "horses mouth." Pay special attention to the earnings growth. Very impressive.

3) Float and Outstanding shares
Don't quote me on this, but last I checked the O/S was around 11 mil and the float was about 5.3 million
*note-A few months ago, EGAM announced that they would buy back about $1million of stock, so the float could change quite a bit. Watch for changes and PR.

Here are some good links and an overview that I made:

Good Luck,

Matt

P.S. Holler at me if you have any more questions, I'll try to answer them the best that I can.
