To All, Well, I am in SUNW today at 91 5/8. I hated buying near the high's, but I got tired of watching this sucker keep going up without me. One year ago, My broker Merril Lynch, advised me to sell SUNW. I said, "xxxx, I planned on holding SUNW for a long, long time ." She responded that they had just lowered estimates for earnings, and that " I could always buy it back cheaper". Yea, right ! They also had me sell INTEL about 2 years ago. I really do very limited trading with ML..I do most of my stuff on my online account(s). Regardless, it makes me sick whenever I think about how much money I lost by selling these 2 gems when I did. Anyway...I am back in now, and hope to hold for the long haul. I heard mention of another split......when is this going to take effect...I guess, I'll go look myself. Good Luck to all

Dear Robert: Bandwith IS the issue. But, luckily for us it is expanding in leaps and bounds and I bet by this time next year we all will be amazed with the availability. At least that is what I am hoping. I am sick and tired of this 56k Modem. haha. Yet, only about 7 years ago I had the fastest (9.6k I think) modem.. haha. JDN
