Man am I glad I sold those 8/99 85 puts on MSFT on Friday. I think we are oversold and heading back to the 90's. All this BS about y2k, IMHO, Msft management is just trying to under promise and over deliver. If y2k is going to have such an impact, why isn't Intel (the other half of Wintel) feeling the same thing? They are not because the soft demand does not exist. :o) Drew

OT James Nicoll, You have just summed up the gun issue. No, just the highly-visible and sensationalized "safety from wackos" side of it. This leaves open the home/personal protection side (necessary to protect the right to Life), the check against an oppressive government side (necessary to protect the right to Liberty), etc. No one sums it up in a paragraph. Besides, it's not a "gun" issue. It's an issue about how to best prevent the misuse of firearms without stepping on the rights of the over 99% of the firearm-owning population that doesn't misuse them.
