Hi Daniel -

How are you?  Was wondering if you had a sense of "interest" at this 
point?  I've seen some traffic around half a dozen or so people being 
interested, but wasn't sure if there was more interest or whether this 
is too small a number....do you have a sense at this point?  Thanks - Ted
