Skinner and Pavlov would understand today's markets very well. Just ring the bell:

"B2B!" <ding>
"Linux!" <ding>
"Middleware!" <ding>
"Internet!" <ding>

and people will throw their money at you. The conditioning appears to be total: K-Tel can put the word "Linux" in a press announcement and the stock goes up. I mean, how can anyone write that with a straight face? Probably they didn't.

<ding>

On that note, I need a vacation, so I would like to announce that I have become a B2B Linux Middleware provider for the Internet, trading under the symbol SCAMY. (My corporate headquarters are a lawn chair in Barbados.)

I predict that the second-tier Linux companies (i.e. not RHAT) will be the first against the wall. LNUX has been hammered since its IPO and I anticipate further pain ahead for that group.

Just ranting after a long day,

Steve
