    I never have done online gambling. I have had to fix HUNDREDS of pc's where the morons on the pc's did and had lots of spyware. Many of these took format/reload to completely fixed. the average bill for the systems that weren't formatted was about $120.

    This is the problem with companies going public that shouldn't.
    The stock market is all about growth, not profit.
    Have a compay that makes 100 billion trillion dollars a year?
    Great, but next year you will have to make 200 billion trillion or else your stock will tank. Its not just about being profitable, stock is all about growth. If not you better pay one hell of a dividend.
