Well put Scarey. I suspect many of us 'Regular Joes" who tried to get in on the PO were not successful. I also suspect that many of those who did get were those with connections and were likely part of prior PPs (remeber $0.23 pps I think). Last suspicion - some of those who got in on the OP are probably the only ones left still in the green.
It's alot easier to comment from that side of the fence.
