How do I buy shares of this company? I can't even get a quote off of e-trade......do I have to have a full service broker? Also, I noticed bid.com is now placed 33rd on the Hot 100...that's not very good...did they drop from 3rd to 33rd?

Jerry, Well the interview is up now. I just saw it and you shouldn't miss it either. I'll take the flag, but I'm sure some gun-toting American will see that I don't get very far. LOL (Just a joke to you guys down South.) I know you're a helpful guy Jerry, but not everybody sees it that way. I'm doing well today Jerry, thanks for asking. About that interview... Okay, so we're all talking about Nasdaq, Nasdaq, Nasdaq, BUT about American Interactive Media (yeah, that deal signed in January which saw the shares in our little company rise to an all-time high) – Commenting on the vision, Mark Graff, president and chief executive officer of AIME said, for example, "We envision celebrities hosting live auctions utilizing the two way or interactive capabilities of the next generation set top boxes. We will be creating the shopping channel of the future, where interactivity, viewer participation and 'fun' are added to the shopping experience." "In the near term we see mass market appeal in the declining price or Dutch auction game shows for television that will create excitement for this form of commerce and build the BID.COM brand name in over 90 million TV households just in the United States." biz.yahoo.com When will we see this come to fruition? What are some of the opinions out there on how it might impact the bottom line; will this be more profitable than Internet auctions? How come nobody's talking about these set-top boxes in Canada, shouldn't Rogers be doing something? Is there anything going on in the US? (Ok, I'm inquisitive today and tired of the same old talk.) Denise. PS. My God, I've got so many newspapers to go through, maybe I'll find an article that might have some bearing here.
