Rich - Hi and yes, the first half of the season was really exciting but
they were playing over their head, reality crashed down the second half.

I do very little actual mailing. Maybe fifteen or twenty thousand pieces
per cycle. Most of my work is in preparing the data for the mail houses
that use it. The folding machine that one of my smaller printers uses is
really pretty fancy and I think he told me it cost $14,000. And it's fairly
simple.

Hey, next year is another season. Invitation to a ball game is still good!
