Voodoo 3 3500TV News.... in stores July 18th!

I was out shopping around last night and stopped at Best Buy and CompUSA. CompUSA had a very noticable Voodoo 3 2000/3000 display (although their signs had them listed as "STB Voodoo 3 2000/3000" boards, I guess they can't read the boxes) right across from a large display of "The Phantom Menace: Racer" games that Lucas Arts has been running commercials on. Anyway, I asked salespeople at both CompUSA and Best Buy when they would have the 3500TV's in and they each checked their computers and gave me the July 18th date.

Both stores had two facings of the 2000's ($129) and one of the 3000 ($179). Best Buy had a facing of Diamond Viper 770 for ($179) and a facing of Creative TNT2 Ultra for (#229). CompUSA had the regular TNT2 from Diamond as well, but no Ultras.

Now, to Campbell's stock sale...

100k shares is most likely a very small percentage of his holdings. What good is a bonus (given in the form of stock options) if it's all tied up in stock? Sure, there is the potential it will go up in value, but try sleeping in a house made of stock certificates! I mean, when you get a bonus check, don't you generally cash it?
