Here is an interesting news byte: posted on MSFT thread by DiVit exchange2000.com What a crap of product they want to release to 7X24 reliable up scale corporate market. A few months back Gates fumbled mightly in front of millions of people by crashing his own demo. Now they challenge hackers to crack their system which they could n't even keep it running. Last week yet another security whole exposed in their old crap where anybody can steal anything from any computer. Microsoft To Hackers: Crack This! In an attempt to burnish its tarnished network security reputation, Microsoft issued an open challenge yesterday to the hacking community. The company placed a web server running the latest beta of Windows 2000 and IIS outside its firewalls, and invited the public to go after target file and user accounts. But the Windows 2000 test server appears to have crashed without any help. -- Full story to come. David Raikow, Sm@rt Reseller zdnet.com This one is like Gary Hart challenging reporters. -Nat

Nat, My plan is to let things sift out a few more days till we get to next interest rate meeting. No one has a crystal ball but it makes sense that we will trade sideways to up near term but more jitters come in before that meeting and we see some re-testing of this mornings lows. I then will begin buying the Jan. 2001 80 or 90 calls. I liked the bounce in all net stocks today. Shows that there is strength and how strongly they can rebound (AOL the exception because of this MSFT challange). Wishing you well also! Steve D.
