Robert,

I guess I'm just resistant to change because I'm still not that happy  
about it. But after a nights sleep I am more willing to see how it  
plays out for the long road. There are a lot of changes happening  
lately so I assume they have a plan and are sticking to it. I guess  
that's good.
