I think it's just one of those things, Frank, where one morning we're all going to wake up and MSFT is going to start its ascent to a new high. The issue, of course, is knowing when that run starts for real. And that I can't answer. Who knows, maybe today was the day! One thing I am very confident of, however, is that this run will start at some point. And I plan on enjoying every moment of it :-) btw, qcom is truly amazing, but one word of caution. Usually when I start feeling euphoric about a stock, that's the wrong time to be adding to my position. Be careful with the timing on Q right now. I think there might be better timing to add to our positions than the current trading pattern. Not that over the long term, it really doesn't matter, but if the Market does decide to run out another leg downward before this summer is out, Q's nose will bleed far more worse than MSFT's from their current levels.

*ALERT ALERT ALERT. Guess what gang, I think i know why Gates and Co. were talking down MSFT's growth rate at the Shareholders' Conference!!!!!!! Look who's joining MSFT's team as the new head of their Internet Division --- I guess Gates wanted to make sure Belluzzo's options were granted at a nice cheap price!!!!!!!! thestreet.com SGI's chief executive Belluzzo resign* by Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com August 23, 1999, 2:00 p.m. PT update Silicon Graphics' chief executive Rick Belluzzo has resigned in a surprise move that installed board member Bob Bishop in his place as chairman and CEO, the company said today. Belluzzo, a former Hewlett-Packard executive, has left the computer company in the midst of a years-long attempt to return to profitability. The company has been cutting thousands of jobs and is changing its future computer line to use Intel chips and the Linux operating system. Bob Bishop, 56, a Silicon Graphics board member, headed up SGI's marketing organization until 1995. He joined the company in 1986. Belluzzo resigned to take a position at a company that doesn't compete with SGI, said spokesman John Cristofano, declining to discuss details. "Having participated in the formation of our new strategy, I am fully committed to the next phase in SGI's transformation that positions the company for sustained growth and profitability," Bishop said in a statement. "I have enormous faith in the talented people, depth of technology, and customer loyalty resident at SGI." Belluzzo was named CEO in January 1998, taking over from Ed McCracken. "As an active board member and the person who led our global sales organization until 1995, he is intimately familiar with the company, its customers, its technology, and its people," SGI board member James McDivitt said in a statement. "Bob brings substantial experience to this position, having built and managed several worldwide sales and marketing organizations at SGI, Apollo Computer, and Digital Equipment Corporation during his 35-year career." Let the games begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teflon
