Hi Red: Nice to see you. Red's are doing really well - saw them last week! Gerard's goal (the 19 yr old from Huyton) was superb. Also, Paul McCarthy is to give a concert at the Cavern this month. CPQ handed over control of Alta Vista to CMGI and as a minority owner CPQ will just have to get used to the idea of AV's future and market value being dependent on CMGI decisions. CMGI have interests in many companies some of which, like Lycos, are in potential conflict with AV. We can hope that CMGI will do a good job of AV to protect our 17%. Too bad CPQ was not able to control the future of AV and use it for CPQ's exclusive purposes with a 50+% ownership. CPQ has no say in the 17% of CMGI it owns, either.
