Todd - I could very well be proved wrong on this in the future but I would not underestimate Playstar as an i-gaming player. True, their e-commerce technology is exciting and very profitable but their gaming endeavors look pretty darn good too IMO. Even though its likely that SNMM will double or even quadruple by the end of this year, it would be a mistake to think that they or any other entity will come close to attaining a monopoly in this industry (How could they?) Playstar is already committed to working with webmasters in creating multilingual sites and their software will potentially enable them to reach emerging markets in ways that most others cannot (esp. set top boxes) Their software will also benefit more than others in both speed and quality once wireless and DSL choices become more affordable. I don't have any details on the new sportsbook that Thomas mentioned but I have recently received confirmation from Mr. Braizer that it will be introduced shortly. I would imagine that this will greatly improve their notoriety in the igaming arena. The fact that they have revenue streams in two of the hottest emerging industries has me on the edge of my seat right now. But even without the ecommerce side, I personally would still find them to be an attractive buy. Coincidentally, the marketing tools that are offered in their ecommerce package are a boon to almost any online merchant - igaming sites included. Don't underestimate the ablility of a successful ecommerce launch to leverage greater market share in the igaming market either!......JMO Regards, Doug
