>>>>>> After re-watching the PBS "nerd" documentary today <<<<<< Damn, I missed it again! :< >>>>>>> <ed: talking about Gates & MSFT> ............ to fall into a situation that would give him a piece of almost every PC sold, there is no company in this cycle that could ever have that monopolistic edge. <<<<<<< Never is a very strong word. I cannot speak for the net stocks. But at this moment there's a company (QCOM) that has a piece of almost every cellular phone sold. Will they become the next MSFT? I doubt it, (while I keep on holding just in case<g>) but the market seems to think they do. History always repeats itself. We just have to keep our eyes open... Take care, theRedDog
