Mike- I just posted this on MDA- wish I'd seen your post first- it fits better here! "Since the world is on a delusional course, we must adopt a delusional standpoint towards the world."

Funny thing, just this minute I received a $5 coupon in the e-mail from Borders.com. That reminds me of what great service they have! <g> If they could make my computer smile and say "Thank you" and really mean it -- you know, very sincere and all -- then it would be a lock and I'd never shop anywhere else for books thanks to the personalized service. The fact that the only reason I ever shopped there in the first place was price would never even enter my head; that wonderful GUI would produce such a satisfying shopping experience that I would reform my ways and start paying more. Why, it would be like shopping at Nordstrom for books! A new era would be born! I'd probably even cut up my Costco membership card, too. That's my 2 dimes' worth anyway.

Michael, these so-called "internet analysts" are nothing but highly irresponsible stock pimps imo. today's upgrades by CIBC Oppenheimer were the greatest hoot: they were not based on the improving business prospects of the internet companies covered, but due to the arrival of a new "internet analyst" at the firm who had to say something to justify his existence. these guys will likely be tarred and feathered when the bubble finally collapses...then again they might go for the short sellers first. regards, hb
