Good intel. And none of my comments are meant disrespectfully either. I would submit that the premise of dedicating one's energies/interests for steam preservation towards a solid education and making cubic dollars is a wise move, regardless of whether Kovalchicks wish to sell or not. There is always a need for cash flow in this field and being the guy with plenty of it turns that once starry-eyed foamer into a man who can make stuff really happen. How can this be bad ?
Back to EBT, .... I thought I read here that K's had a price thrown out there for buying the whole kit and kaboodle. Am I dreaming ?
