Edited Press Release

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Grasshopper Investments, which has been formed for the purpose of investing in strategic and special situations and providing the opportunity of financing unquoted companies seeking a public quotation, said Wednesday that it plans to float on AIM.

The Directors have established the Company with a view to offering shareholders the opportunity to benefit from a focussed special situation approach applied by a team with considerable fund management and investment experience.

Grasshopper will seek to invest in companies for one of two reasons: either the investment holds strategic value, or more likely, it represents a strong value opportunity given various special situation characteristics.

As the Directors believe that the future for general equity markets is becoming more volatile, the Directors intend to invest in specific companies with the desired characteristics rather than seeking to pursue a sector based investment strategy.

Nevertheless, the Directors believe that certain sectors such as technology will prove to be attractive, whilst the natural resource sector may still provide selective opportunities.

The company's nominated adviser is Grant Thornton Corporate Finance and broker is Christows.

That's the contact EMail for the guy selling the quad matrox cards, don't know if he still has any or what his situation is.

Not had any off him myself, but I believe others have and are very happy.

[rogue trader] 22/12/2002 12:52

Matrox are good.

ADVFN will not allow more than one PC if you are using ADVFN2. I do not know, but suspect that this will eventually apply to all ADVFN pages.

Go for multi display rather than multi PC

the ape >

I recommend matrox G200mms Quad you can put up to three in one pc ! pci slot

1=4 screens 6 add a G550 or G450 and if you want a tv matrox will bolt it on to any of the above +£50 but keeps things tidy .Matrox drivers run all cards so very stable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cheap option 3x G450 dual card pci new £75.00ea £225 total not a tidy option
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

or 2x Matrox Parhelia in one PC =6 screens you can have 128 or 256 mb on board
128=£ 250.00 256=£ 350.00 both have on board fans the quads cards do not . they also have only 32mb per channel/screen ( if budget not a problem) go for 2 x matrox Pahhelia 256mb No tv option

review : on parhelia






(advfn or any other site have to charge per display see link below)



link to Market Data Display Guidelines From LSE .

the thread below may help



Some of the traders have bought second hand quad cards from a contact on Ebay
