I for one have no pity for the NASDAQ market system bosses and their whining 
about being unable to comply with decimalization orders.  The SEC should have no
pity either.  I am expected to comply with securities laws, why should NASDAQ be
exempt or in need of an extension.  Announce that you will charge them with 
price fixing should they exceed the original timetable for decimalization, and 
watch how magically they can quickly comply.
Only in America, what a bunch of whiners we have become.  Is not the NASDAQ the 
home of all of the fantastic technology age future driven companies?  Why should
the NASDAQ remain in an archaic system?
     
Thank you;
