Okay, thanks. Wouldn't there also be the complication of initial availability only at the firm handling the offering? So you'd need accounts or at least history at the firms of interest?
This is as much filling in the blanks as serious interest. We were so tied up doing the CRT-in-face, fibre-in-hand thing 95-2000 (and missing out on the big MLM) that many details were missed. Now I blame age and minor PTSD.
The google announcement sparked my curiosity again, though honestly it seems uniquely dubious.
