E, your post is great and reminds me of my great uncle telling me what it was like in New Orleans in the "good old days". Some samples: The streets were "paved" with wood planks over the dirt. In a heavy rain, they literally floated away. Drinking water came from rain collected in a cistern at each house. Bugs and worms lived in the bottom of the cistern. My uncle said that if you lived to be five or six you knew you were going to make it. In winter the homes were heated by coal grates. He said that on a cold day the sky would be black with soot, along with your clothes and the rest of you if you went out. So much for today's smog! And best of all, before the weather channel was in vogue, he recalled going to school one day in September 1912. The weather turned cloudy then stormy then got so bad that everyone was sent home because they finally figured out it was a hurricane -- as it turned out, one of the worst to strike in New Orleans's history. I think I'll take life with microchips instead. Beachbumm

E. Graphs, ON TOPIC LATER BELOW, but thanks for that 1500s 'where do those expressions come from' post. I get a kick out of them because they make so much sense when you think about them:-Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o. And men using the community bath water first! Imagine today, esp. in the USA! ON TOPIC Michael Murphy likes LSI...good or bad? Michael Murphy's Technology and Biotech Outlook " Cypress Semiconductor (CY 15 3/4) finally got their act together," says Michael. "They have a dominant position in the speed chip market." Another company he is high on is LSI Logic (LSI 44). They are a leader in putting a system on a chip. They're able to design and build a single chip that includes components such as a microprocessor, logic and memory. They do about 300 designs a year and their nearest competitor National Semiconductor only does about 10 designs a year. "LSI is way ahead in their technology and their shares will be much higher over the next 3 or 4 years. Tony
