Here's another one for the mania chronicles:

Notice where she works!<GGG>
Nancy Lee, a 32-year-old international business development manager at
Dr. Koop.com, is planning a wedding in September. She and her fianc‚
registered for shares of telecom-equipment provider Qualcomm (QCOM:
news, msgs), pharmaceutical company Andrx (ADRX: news, msgs) and
Chinese-language Web portal Sina.com (SINA: news, msgs).
?My fianc‚ and I were the poor starving students where the toaster
works, but only occasionally, so we don?t have everything,? she said. ?But
my wedding is actually going to be very small and I don?t expect to get the
toasters and blenders anyhow.?
In fact, Lee and her fianc‚ have elected not to register anywhere else.
?I am not a real strong registry person,? Lee said. ?I will probably use this
registration more as an online brokerage account, than actually getting a
lot of gifts from friends and relatives.?
For Lee, registering for shares of SINA.com -- a company that maintains
four Chinese-language Web portals that serve Mainland China, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese speakers in North America -- struck a
personal chord.
?My fianc‚ and I are both Chinese, so it's actually a way to be very
personalized in terms of supporting something that we all believe in,? Lee
said.
What I really want on my wedding night is.....Qualcomm? |
