The computer trouble continues.... -Scott ----------------- We were notified by the CME this morning just after 6:00 a.m. Chicago time that the problems experienced yesterday in the TOPS to GLOBEX connection at the CME had resurfaced. Orders are being accepted by the TOPS side but are just not making it into GLOBEX. Technicians are working to resolve the problem, but it may be some time before we have any further information this morning. In the meantime, we are force to only accept Market Orders in the E-Mini. These orders are routed to a printer in our Global Services Division where they must be hand entered into GLOBEX. We regret that this is the course of action we must take, and we hope that the problem is resolved shortly.

Something to think about. -Scott ---------------- Total Support! Our friend H. Stephen Glenn is one of the most affirming, empowering individuals we have ever met. He instantly inspires us to always look for the positive. Stephen was at his grandson's tee-ball game a while back. A little boy came up to bat. He swatted the ball off the tee and ran as fast as he could to third base. The coach went up to the little boy and said "Boy, you sure hit that ball a long way." The little boy said, "I did?" "Yeah, and you ran really fast to third base and surprised the heck out of everybody!" "I did?" he asked. "Yes, you did. I have one question to ask you before you come to the dugout to watch the rest of the inning," the coach said to the boy. "When you made the decision to run to third base instead of first, what were you thinking of?" The boy replied, "Well, everybody that was running to first was getting put out." The coach took the boy to the dugout to talk to him. "Last time you made the choice of running to third base instead of first, surprised everybody, and made it, but you didn't get a chance to score. Now you've got the same choice again. You can choose to run to third and probably make it okay but you won't get to score, or you can take the risk of running to first base. You may get put out, but if you make it you get a chance to score. But, whatever you decide, I want you to know we're right there behind you."
