Captain,
That's a lot of Bibles. So the sins of the old CEO are passed on to the new CEO. That makes changing CEO's pretty worthless in general. Sorry I can't buy that theory. I do think that MC has to establish his own creditability. His honesty about the fourth quarter estimate may go a long way with the street. He could have been optimistic rather then the honest answer he gave them. So the stock price currently reflects a y2k slow down.

I like this little deal with the labor folks.

ON WEBGALAXY'S UNITED LABOR ONLINE WEBSITE

SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec 10, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

bundles to subscribers and guests of United Labor OnLine ( ULOL.com ).

bundles: Bronze, Copper, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The entry price for
the bundles will be $774 for a Compaq Celeron machine with a 15-inch

offered to assist users in purchasing a ULOL alliance computer bundle.

packages offered trough our ULOL.com site are not watered down and will

technology without the long-term commitment.
