Wally & DRat, fishing was not the best as the H2O was almost 60. The stripers were more interested in a'more than brunch. However, we did bring back our limit of 4, with the weights being 16, 12, 7, and 5. Weather was the best, the company was terrific, the boat and captain top notch and the telephones non-existant. Have booked for next year already. As to my off the cuff remark about the filing, let me elaborate a little more. Of course I know that to be fully reporting is the best for the company, and besides, pink is not my favorite color. That being said, I am not pressuring MS to do it NOW, NOW, NOW. It gets done when it gets done. It will be a significant event for sure, but I don't think it will be the fuse lighter (that one is for JW) that some think it will be. Each time MS adds something to the mix a refiling is necessary. IMHO, it is these enhancements that will be the fuel to the sales numbers which will be the REAL Bic lighter. So as long as MS is adding more chips to the cookie dough, I can wait for the filing. Now on the alliance front, digging through the net on Sunday, I did come up with something VERY interesting. It seems that Global Crossing owns one (Atlantic Crossing) of TWO under sea cables that connect Europe with the USA. The other one is jointly owned by WorldCom and MCI (Gemini Submarine). Hmmmm... Also, these two cables are the fastest, meanest, bad boys in the galaxy and soon to become faster and meaner. They are somehow hooked to a company called IAxis, which runs another bad boy cable throughout Europe. Now this is all tied together with a company called Telemonde, which is in the middle of being bought by Pac-Rim and there is a name change and split of 4 to 1 and a seperation of Telemonde into two entities or SOMETHING like that. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. It is incredibly complicated, but I do know this will be AWESOME to the future of FNTN.
