The absence of Alan Benn here for the longest time is somewhat unsettling, IMO.

Has he bailed on WIND? Did he decide that he has come to a negative conclusion about WIND so that it was better not to scare the bulls on this thread who have come to rely on his wisdom for their investment decisions?

I thought his vacation would be long finished by now and expected a return of sorts. I, for one, valued his posts. Others, like David Lehenky (sp?) and Mark Brophy added great perspectives and counterpoints to Alan's views.

I think I am speaking for many longterm WIND bulls here with regards to his absence.

No - it is NOT a reference to WIND's "Tornado". If it were, it would have to be capitalized. The "tornado" apps they're referring to are the "big as a whirlwind" type, which people get caught up in fast - such as e-mail and instant messaging.

>>"Tornado Apps" Is this referring to the potential for the ubiquitousness of WIND's products?<<

Sorry, but I think you're taking this out of context. Andreeson was using the term "tornado" in a generic way that has nothing to do with WIND.
