Dave: I hope your LOL of CPWR is tongue in cheek-they are about to sign a very large pact with GM and will move to Detroit if plan is approved. You all had better take note of GCHC-Greater China Corp-last week a move from 30 cents to $1.38, today gapping up-news will be forth coming on China fiber optics & internet. GCHC has current revs of $22M-projected $70M by years end-new fiber optic plant in China-demand far exceeds current fill capacity-they have a patent on fiber optic cable that has no metallic connectors-very important in reducing line disturbance from electrical sources and when cable is used in medium requiring no electrical conductivity-such as explosive liquids. GCHC has been in China for 13 yrs and will have web site set up by end of April.
