Frank,

How did Vegas treat you, Tony? You missed a great Niners game last Thursday.

Got back my losses today thanks to Microsoft. Just kidding. I'm not much of a (Vegas) gambler. Engineer mentality, you know, worst-case everything and have to have the odds on my side. The new hotels, Bellagio and Venetian especially, compete for wonders of the world awards, practically. Great shows and food too. Can't beat the weather getting back here, though. Odds on my side, guess that means Microsoft and other G&K investing, right?

Tony

An absolutely incredible day, Frank. I'm almost speechless. Almost <ggg>!

I think it was important to show the Market that MSFT can still move 5-6 points in one day, and that this girl still has what it takes to make people lots of money in relatively short periods of time. Keeps the traders interesting in putting $$$ into the stock along with all of us long termers. I cannot help but wonder if Gates knew that MSFT was about to bring Belluzzo on Board and did him a little favor by cooling off the stock price at the shareholders' meeting so his options could be priced on the cheap side. I know this sounds silly, but I still wonder...
