Speaking of BDE: Here is why it is rising! WOW! I am soooo glad I hung on! Baton cbs.marketwatch.com <<Time Warner taps Brilliant Digital 3-D animator producing Web shorts By Steve Gelsi, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 0:01 AM ET Oct 5, 1999 NewsWatch BURBANK, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Time Warner unit Warner Bros. is teaming up with Brilliant Digital Entertainment on an animated Superman film for its Entertaindom Web site.

Oracle, the arbitrage gang will, as you say, "do their thing". . .and I don't think we will see anything similar to QCOM. . .I think the main reason for that big move is that they were on the cutting edge of personal cellular technology. . .the Ericsson deal was merely the catalyst. Sorry, I don't know enough about GMST, and how GMST has something that everyone wants or needs. . . isn't coming to mind. As for TV Guide, I am already getting my television listings from AtHome and Yahoo. . .and there is no mention of TVGuide there. . . so my first impression is that portals and other home page oriented sites will do to TVGuide what the local papers TV Listings pull-out section did to TVGIAs check out line impulse sales during the 80's. . . T was lucky to find a buyer, in my opinion. But talk about lucky sellers. . .the largest merger in history with MCI WCOM and Sprint. . .but think of this sobering thought. . . when global internet telephony is commonplace via fibre-optic internet connections. . .how will this cut into traditional long-distance telephone revenues? I can hear them in the board room of Sprint. . .man, did we ever get out just in time. . . did you see those long range projections? Whoopeee. These are just my opinions. Rande Is
