Mike and Unc: thanks for the kind words. Coming from the two of you, I'm truly flattered. (And Frank, are you sure you're a curmudgeon?) Since I've found out that the best way to learn this stuff is to dive in and say things that force me to read in order to not sound like an idiot (which that clause just made me sound like), here's my project du jour: find a company that hasn't been talked about much on this thread and do a gorilla research project on them, applying the criteria in the book, then presenting my little book report to the class for review. I'm looking right now at ARM Holdings...they've been mentioned here, but not in much detail that I remember. Does anyone remember if they've been discussed in depth here and I've missed it? This is more for the learning involved than any passion for ARM (I'm also open to suggestions other than ARM - my second choice at the moment is Global Crossing.) I may pull a tekboy and buy a bit just to motivate myself to actually follow through with it. :) Sam

Uncle Frank~ as we discussed here is that site I thought some might be interested in.... thehungersite.com You simply click the button once a day and your click will have induced a corporate sponsor to donate a specified amount of free food to a hungry person. The amount of food -- rice, wheat, maize or other staple food -- you send by your click varies according to how many corporations (or, occasionally, individuals) are sponsoring the site that day. Maybe your company would even want to sponsor the site? Each sponsor pays for 1/4 cup of food.... "Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger; 3/4 of the deaths are children under 5." thanks for letting me post it s m i l e sherry
