--------------------------------------------------------------------- more comes into play than just the packaging in selling a product....although that is critical. In this case I believe the appearance of AP city and boardwalk (our packaging)is just fine and getting better every day. There is also brand recogntion, placement on the shelf and the quality of the product, etc. Our product (AP) is selling as of late because we are strong in all these areas. Again I see a bright future ahead.....at this point I believe the players have too much at stake not to work out differnces even if they are big ones. let's see....we are have some nice sunny summer days ahead. One concern I do have is how viable these boardwalk businesses will be over the winter? Opening up the pavillions to Ocean Ave was smart but will it be enough? If the businesses are successful and there is enough $$ for everyone to share we should be OK. John > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
