I have read the prospectus, and I believe the number given was about
150,000 , which rather made me a bit upset -- I have been suggesting
the investment to others on the basis of 250,000 sold.  Is the diff-
erence do to an inflated "rumor" rate, or old data?  I go the feeling
that some of the data in the prospectus was rather old.  Just a hunch
though....   Neil?
