Kemble: Hi! I hope it is cooler in your state than it is in Texas. The 4th of July is not one of my favorite holidays, especially since I left California. Summer in Texas is too hot!! It is great movie weather!! I am curious... just how reliable are your inside sources? Also, do you know who the front-runners for the CPQ CEO are now that the Continental guy flew away? It seems like no one wants to touch that job right now. Dell is coming on very strong and so is IBM. I don't hear that rumor in Dallas, but one of my co-workers has a brother at IBM. He told me that Mikey will be the next CEO. He says it is understood. This guy lives in Austin, so he gets info on both sides (Dell and IBM). I never believe anything until it is fact... But, I am hoping that Mikey gives some insight to the shareholder's at the upcoming meeting. I am planning to attend next year. Will you take good notes and post some pictures for those of us who are not there? I have to go to a Convention, but I will be anxious to hear how it goes!! Have a great 4th!! LW

A friend of mine recently bought and IBM Aptiva computer(against my advice). He uses it to communicate with CNC machine tools via the serial port, He knows nothing about computers and asked me to help. After many hours of failure I concluded the serial port didn't work I attempted to install a new port but the machine refused to accept it. We took it back to CompUSA where they kept it for a week and pronounced it well. After many more hours of failure I discovered that wiggling serial port a certain made a connection. We took it back to CompUSA and explained this to the repair tech. He said it needed a new motherboard. This took a week and the machine works OK now. My friend paid $999 for the computer and got a $100 rebate. CompUSA billed IBM $409 for the repair. If this is a common experience for Aptiva buyers IBM won't be in the PC business for long
