I do not know about that "cheap" equipment you have. When you get it fixed, I will re-email all the bounced back email with my dependable Mac.

This weekend, the law firm is moving from Novell with Groupwise to Microsoft NT with Exchange (you won, Bill) (this should show up in your 4Q sales, Bill).

To handle the load, the Compaq Proliant server (old sales for you CPQ holders) is having a second INTC pentium chip added (should help my INTC stock infinitessimally this Q...though multi-processor computer applications are growing...good for INTC generally).

Wordperfect 8 (Corel screwed up on that one...it couldn't handle long file names combined with long directory names...geesh), QuattroPro (nobody ever used it), and Presentations (ditto) are all being yanked. Instead, MS Office will be in place (more sales for you MSFT holders...particularly with all those required licenses).

To make this email vaguely on topic, we will be purchasing several ASND pipeline 130 routers to upgrade the internet connection. This should show up in 4Q sales for ASND. No, Lucent didn't work with ASND technical people in designing this system...they were too busy working on the Kinko setup down the street.

Hmmm...No Macintosh equipment or sales in these upgrades. One can only wonder, then, whether the ASND routers will be able to overcome the inadequate processing equipment. We shall see...
