I agree with you that this stock is up recently due to buy-out
speculation. However I think NETA outlook will improve going
into Q3/Q4 and definitely will be on track for good growth
in 2000. I am definitely not a day trader and I have seen
fantastic comeback by the likes of SYMC, CHKP from their lows
during difficult transition period if one has the patience.
I believe that NETA will come back due to a combination of things:

1. NETA business model is in transition to corporate E-commerce
by providing a complete Enterprise network security solution.

2. MCAFFEE.COM will go IPO.

3. NETA added Toressi (a veteran pro) to the board of directors
who will help NETA to position itself as effective strategic
partner to large corporations.

4. NETA is still way off its 52-week high of $67.

5. NETA will continue to attract speculation on takeover as long as
its market cap is low.

6. NETA is focusing on clearing up their inventory issue in Q2 and
will quickly put this behind them.

7. If Q2 number does not look that bad on Wednesday, look out
for this baby to take off!!!!

Good luck!

By Q2 of next year things will be back on track. Remember McAfee.com will be spinning off soon which will help NAI in the long run. I am here for the long haul as I've been for the past few years.

Just my opinion.

Members of the company's NAI Labs organization provided public service assessments for several virus and hacker threats that occurred during the quarter including: Chernobyl, BackDoor-G, ExploreZip Internet Worm, and hacker tool Back Orifice 2000.

Network Associates advanced its anti-virus product leadership delivering a new ''email x-ray'' feature, which establishes VirusScan as the first desktop product to scan email attachments at the mailbox level, and new AutoImmune technology which enables an automated approach to virus detection and cleaning.

Cisco Systems joined Network Associates' roster of security partners announcing seamless interoperability between the PGP VPN client and Cisco's comprehensive family of VPN-optimized routers and firewalls. This alliance provides Cisco customers with a robust Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) compliant solution for remote access VPNs.

In addition, the R&D unit of GTE joined Network Associates, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, and Sun Microsystems in the Security Research Alliance, a premier, commercially funded, vendor-neutral organization whose members are involved in security research. Members of the group hosted their first ever Crystal Ball Symposium at the Internet Security Conference in San Jose, CA.

On the network management side of the house, Network Associates followed its launch of the new Magic Total Service Desk in Q1 with the launch of the Sniffer Total Network Visibility (TNV) suite 3.0.
