Janice, So glad to see they still print the outstanding "Baker Report" exactly as I rernernber it, with the "Cybase" typo and what is perhaps my all-time favorite investrnent paragraph:

BankBoston, dating from 1784, is the fifteenth largest bank in the U.S. and among the most progressive, involving itself in film production in partnership with Hollywood studios when Joe Kennedy, President Kennedy's libidinous father, was only watching Gloria Swanson movies.

Also still included at the end is the details of how much they paid for this nonsense. Amazing!

They part where I really begin to suspect that this is just a rehash of some cheesy tool from circa 1982 is the persistent use of the phrase "mainframe computers, minicomputers and microcomputers".

Honey, I'm going to iron my flares, put on my platform shoes and boogie down on the microcomputer tonight!

Kevin
