Chuzzlewit and Thread, There were two HUGE inserts in the Wall Street Journal today somewhat focusing on the ASP market. I don't recall seeing anything of this size before. It took two added sections. I have read only about half of it and Citrix was mentioned on page R7. Federal Express, "has installed 6,000 Citrix powered terminals." It should have said, "Fedex has 6,000 thin client terminals with the Citrix operating system installed on them." It also goes on to say Fedex plans to have 20,000 up and running in 2000. This is an example of an exceptional good customer expanding on the CTXS footprint established awhile back. There is also another article of interest to CTXS investors. It's on page R30. Kind of a story similar to what we discussed, in great depth, six months ago. It's a story on whether you should write from the ground up, or simply attempt to deploy current fat client software over the Internet. The CTXS solution of deploying current Windows based software is not even mentioned, but should have been. And one other article, that may be of interest to CTXS investors, involves Microsoft's vision of a central server, web-based distribution model. I read it through once, but don't get it? I have to read it again. It's on page R25 and involves what they term, "DNA 2000." I don't understand it. Just found another Citrix mention. On page R36 under the, "Education," sub-heading (column 5). Classic use for Citrix is explained in detail. As school system computers age, instead of simply tossing the older hardware, they put MetaFrame on them and they are good to go. MikeM(From Florida)
