Jim, I'm certainly not one to ask about whether to hold or sell. However, I can tell you to remove any emotionalism from your mind and get practical. You could think about: If you do get burned on this thing again will that tear you up too much? If you miss out on the long awaited comeback will that tear you up as well? Either way can lead to angst. Instead just be objective about it and be mentally prepared for an adverse outcome. Good luck! Bill

Jim: FYI... After 3 months delay, finally Got my 540.. --> Good news: 540s are shipping and the revenues should show in the next quarter (Quat 1) earnings. The bad news: The system got to me with a loosely connected hard drive! and a bad motherboard! and was also shipped to the wrong address. I called support and they said that they knew about the problem and they have to send me a new mother board. Question: If they knew about the problem, then why didn't they check the computers to see, 1) if the mother board was alright, and 2)that hard drive was not properly connected. Conclusion: Due to huge delays in manufacturing, they are pushing the machines out of the door without proper Quality Assurance. I'll send more info on the machine, as soon as I get it working.. --Ramin
