Also, EnlightenDSM for TurboLinux is available for free download to existing TurboLinux users, pursuant to Enlighten's previously announced bundling relationship with TurboLinux. In addition, EnlightenDSM/Free, a utility performing only the user and group management functions of EnlightenDSM for Unix and Windows platforms, is available for download from the Web site at no cost. For a limited time only, a single machine license of EnlightenDSM 3.4 for Red Hat Linux is available for $199.00 via Enlighten's e-commerce Web site, and within minutes of downloading users can immediately install and begin utilizing the power of EnlightenDSM 3.4. With support already established for TurboLinux, EnlightenDSM 3.4 is the leading systems management solution available for, and able to operate across, multiple Linux environments and integrate into Enlighten's existing cross platform management offerings on Unix, Windows and NT. Commenting from Comdex on the e-commerce launch, Enlighten President and COO, Bill Bradley, stated, ''We have harnessed the distribution power and efficiency of the Internet to make our unique, cross platform solution for system administration broadly available to a growing base of Linux users. Our first two Linux product offerings focus on the commercial leaders in the Linux space, Red Hat Linux and TurboLinux, and our Web site allows existing Red Hat and TurboLinux users to access our product offerings in a very efficient and cost effective manner. We see the Linux operating system as an integral component of our revenue mix next year.'' EnlightenDSM provides a single graphical interface to concurrently manage mixed environments comprised of various Linux, Unix, NT and Windows 95/98 machines. EnlightenDSM provides event monitoring which results in improved computing resource availability and workgroup administration which delivers increased productivity for systems administration professionals by simplifying complex, lengthy and repetitive tasks and consolidating views across collections of networked systems. IDC has forecast the entire Linux Operating Environment market to grow at over 25% CAGR through 2003, whereas all other Server Operating Environments are forecast to grow at only 12% CAGR during this period. Enlighten continues to move its product delivery capability further in the direction of these key platforms. Mr. Bradley added, ''With support for both Red Hat and TurboLinux, Enlighten has established platform coverage for the majority of commercial Linux distributions. Given the rapid growth in the use of Linux in a variety of Internet applications, including web servers, this presents a very attractive market for Enlighten. Further, our existing Unix and Windows users of EnlightenDSM are increasingly looking to make use of Linux, and our ability to concurrently provide support across all of these various systems further extends our value proposition.''

Yes, COVD will be a great play. For a while I had to count my pennies so I could only buy options on stocks. I had to take advantage of the biggest moves with the smallest amount of cash or stop trading. I usually have an option on my QCharts right with the stock if it's over $30 so I can better evaluate which way to go. I'm glad you were able to use my little tip. Sorry you didn't get your ETYS for Christmas. :o( Rose
